Summary:

Crete Public Schools in Nebraska has only one high school, Crete High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 176th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 129th out of 146 in 2024-2025. With a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Crete High School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Crete High School's graduation rate of 87.9% in 2024-2025 is slightly below the state average, and the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the ACT in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all below the state averages in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Additionally, over 56% of Crete High School students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,031 in 2023-2024, Crete High School is still underperforming compared to the state average, suggesting that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to improve student outcomes. The school's leadership and the Crete Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges in order to improve student success.
