High Schools in North Platte Public Schools

Summary:

North Platte Public Schools operates a single high school, North Platte High School, serving grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 202 out of 215 high schools in 2022-2023 to 104 out of 146 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school is performing below average compared to other high schools in Nebraska.

North Platte High School's graduation rate of 87.9% in 2024-2025 is slightly below the state average, and the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 11th-grade students were generally below the state average in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. Additionally, 43.4% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school's spending per student of $16,482 in 2023-2024 was higher than the state average, its student-teacher ratio of 17.8 in the same year was slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1 for high schools. These findings suggest that North Platte Public Schools may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by North Platte High School and its economically disadvantaged student population.
