Summary:
Arapahoe Public Schools in Nebraska has only one high school, Arapahoe High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate and test scores above the state average in certain areas, it also faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and a ranking that has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing it in the middle of Nebraska high schools.
Arapahoe High School's four-year graduation rate of 88.1% is above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is relatively high. The school's test scores are mixed, with 11th-grade students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but below the state average in Mathematics. Similarly, 7th-grade students scored above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics and Science.
The school's spending per student of $19,095 is higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes, as the school's ranking has ranged from 99th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 113th out of 202 in 2021-2022, and currently stands at 103rd out of 168 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests a need for more targeted and comprehensive improvement efforts to help Arapahoe Public Schools better align with statewide standards and best practices.
