Summary:
The Lyons-Decatur Northeast Schools district in Nebraska is home to a single high school, Northeast Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 28th out of 217 Nebraska high schools in 2018-2019 to 102nd out of 146 in 2024-2025.
Northeast Secondary School's strengths include a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and strong performance in 8th-grade English Language Arts, with a proficiency rate of 80.77% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges in science, with only 40% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/Science, lower than the state average of 47.59%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 57.93%, which is often associated with lower academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Northeast Secondary School benefits from higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. The school's performance and demographic factors suggest that it may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support to address areas of concern and build on its strengths.
