Middle Schools in Nebraska City Public Schools

The Nebraska City Public Schools district has only one middle school, Nebraska City Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of middle schools in Nebraska, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

Nebraska City Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all below the state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 37% in 6th grade ELA to 53% in 7th grade Math, while the state averages ranged from 54% to 66%. The school's student population is predominantly White (75.46%) with a significant Hispanic representation (21.17%), and a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (53.99%), indicating a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending ($13,345) and a low student-teacher ratio (14.2). This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to evaluate how resources are being utilized to support student learning. Overall, the analysis suggests that Nebraska City Middle School is facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
