Summary:
There is only one middle school, Superior Middle School, located within the Superior Public Schools district in Nebraska. The school serves grades 6-8 and has a relatively small student population of 84 students, with a predominantly white student body (92.86%).
Academically, Superior Middle School is struggling, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade, only 36% of students are proficient or better in ELA, compared to the 62% state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools, with a ranking of 220 out of 238 schools in the most recent year. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($19,492) and low student-teacher ratio (10.8:1), these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The data suggests that Superior Middle School and the Superior Public Schools district may need to re-evaluate their strategies and allocate resources more effectively to address the underlying challenges and improve educational outcomes for their students. The school's lack of diversity and persistent low performance raise concerns about equity and the effectiveness of the school's improvement efforts over time.
