High Schools in Gering Public Schools

Summary:

Gering Public Schools operates a single high school, Gering High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 in the city of Gering, Nebraska. Based on the available data, Gering High School appears to be a relatively low-performing school within the state, with a declining statewide ranking and a below-average 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gering High School's four-year 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%. While the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly above the state average, there is room for improvement. Additionally, nearly half (48.06%) of Gering High School's students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's relatively low performance, Gering High School spends more per student ($15,950 in 2023-2024) than the state average, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and spending priorities. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2023-2024 is slightly lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes for the students.
