Summary:
Bertrand Public Schools operates a single high school, Bertrand High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Bertrand, Nebraska. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.1%, it also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and mixed performance on standardized tests compared to the state averages.
Bertrand Public Schools spends $21,219 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, suggesting a focus on providing resources and support for students. However, the school's performance outcomes do not yet fully reflect these investments, with the school's statewide ranking improving from 177th out of 209 schools in 2020-2021 to 113th out of 168 schools in 2023-2024, indicating that the school is making progress but still has room for improvement.
Overall, Bertrand High School appears to be a relatively average-performing school in the state of Nebraska, with some areas of strength, such as graduation rates, and some areas that need improvement, such as chronic absenteeism and test scores. The school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces, but the data suggests that the school is making efforts to support its students and improve their outcomes.
