Middle Schools in Superior Public Schools

Summary:

The Superior Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Superior Public Schools district in Nebraska. Despite its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools and received low performance ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.

Superior Middle School's academic proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 55% in ELA and 41% in Math, compared to the state averages of 62.77% and 56.56%, respectively. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 69% in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the state average of 65.61%.

The school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.38% in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Overall, the analysis indicates that Superior Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the district may need to review its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to improve student outcomes.
