Summary:
The city of Minden, Nebraska is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Minden East Elementary School, C L Jones Middle School, and Minden High School. These schools operate under the Minden Public Schools district, which is ranked 73 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 2 out of 5 star rating.
Among the standout schools in Minden, C L Jones Middle School consistently demonstrates high academic performance, with students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and particularly strong in 8th grade Science. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%. Minden High School also shines, with 11th-grade students scoring above the state average on ACT tests and boasting an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average.
While the schools in Minden generally perform well, there are some areas for improvement. All three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which is higher than the ideal target. Additionally, a significant proportion of students, ranging from 32.76% to 35.25%, receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the community faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance and school resources. The district and individual schools should work to address these issues and continue to support the academic success of all students in Minden.
