Summary:
The North Platte Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two middle schools: Adams Middle School and Madison Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and face similar challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Neither Adams Middle School nor Madison Middle School stand out as clear top performers in the district. Both schools rank relatively low within the state, with Adams Middle School ranking 94th out of 123 middle schools in 2024-2025 and 156th out of 200 in 2023-2024. The district as a whole is ranked 85th out of 115 districts in Nebraska and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Academically, both schools struggle to meet state proficiency averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.3%, significantly higher than the state average. The schools also serve a large population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates around 50%. Despite higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools have not been able to significantly improve their academic outcomes, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support for students and families.
