High Schools in Chadron Public Schools

Summary:

Chadron Public Schools is home to one standout high school, Chadron Senior High School, which has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Nebraska. This school serves grades 9-12 and is located in the city of Chadron, providing a quality education to students in the area.

Chadron Senior High School has been a top performer, ranking 20th out of 146 Nebraska high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and 14th out of 168 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school has received 4 and 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well above average compared to other schools in the state. With a 87.9% four-year graduation rate, the school exceeds the state average, and its students significantly outperform state averages in ACT proficiency for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

While the school's performance is impressive, it is important to note that 35.18% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, suggesting some economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 indicate it is allocating resources effectively to support student learning. The school's only area for potential improvement is its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which is slightly higher than the state's target of 10% or less.
