Summary:
David City Public Schools operates a single high school, David City Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12 in the city of David City, Nebraska. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 65th out of 168 Nebraska high schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 116th out of 215 in 2022-2023.
David City Secondary School's academic outcomes are mixed, with some subject areas showing proficiency rates above the state average while others fall below. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2024-2025 is 87.9%, which is a positive metric, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% for the same year is relatively high. The school serves a student population of 316, with 46.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population.
Despite the school's socioeconomic challenges, it benefits from a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $23,420 for the 2023-2024 school year. These resources suggest that David City Public Schools is investing in the education of its students, though further analysis would be needed to understand how these funds are being utilized and their impact on student outcomes.
