Middle Schools in Beatrice Public Schools

Beatrice Public Schools has one middle school, Beatrice Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is located in Beatrice, Nebraska. Based on the available data, Beatrice Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the state, with some areas of strength and others that need improvement.

Beatrice Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 122 out of 238 schools in 2022-2023 to 150 out of 249 schools in 2021-2022, with a 2-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, is somewhat inconsistent across different subject areas and grade levels. While the school performs better than the state average in 8th-grade Science, it lags behind in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics in some grades. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% may be contributing to these inconsistencies.

Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and higher-than-average spending per student of $16,092. However, these resources do not appear to be fully translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and finding ways to consistently improve academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels could be key focus areas for Beatrice Public Schools to support the success of Beatrice Middle School.
