High Schools in Boone Central Schools

Summary:

Boone Central Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that serves the community of Boone County. The district has one high school, Boone Central High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, such as above-average ACT proficiency rates in certain subjects, its overall performance appears to be relatively average compared to other high schools in the state.

Boone Central High School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 68th out of 215 schools in 2022-2023 to 144th out of 168 schools in 2023-2024. The school's current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests it is performing below average compared to its peers. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the district's relatively high spending per student ($21,090 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio (10.7 in 2023-2024), the school's overall performance does not appear to be commensurate with these inputs. This suggests potential opportunities for improvement in resource allocation and instructional practices. While the school's ACT proficiency rates in some subjects were above the state averages, its performance in Mathematics was below the state average in 2023-2024, indicating a need for targeted academic interventions and support in this area.
