High Schools in Sutherland Public Schools

Summary:

Sutherland Public Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that serves only one high school, Sutherland High School. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than the state average, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, ranking 163rd out of 215 high schools in the state for the 2022-2023 school year.

Sutherland High School's graduation rate of 88.1% is slightly below the state average, and its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below state averages as well. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 28.76% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges.

Overall, the data indicates that Sutherland Public Schools and its sole high school are struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state. While the district invests more per student, this does not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for students. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
