Middle Schools in Nebraska City Public Schools

Summary:

The Nebraska City Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Nebraska City Public Schools district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 216 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools in 2022-2023 to 97 out of 123 in 2024-2025.

Nebraska City Middle School's academic performance on the NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) tests has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 6-8 were slightly below the district average, they were significantly below the state average. However, the school's proficiency rate in Science for grade 8 was above both the district and state averages. The school has shown some improvement in its NSCAS test scores from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, but it still lags behind the state in many areas.

The school serves a student population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 52.94% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $14,759 in 2023-2024 was higher than the state average, suggesting a focus on providing adequate resources for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2023-2024 is slightly lower than the state average, which may indicate a more favorable learning environment.
