High Schools in Neligh-Oakdale Schools

Summary:

Neligh-Oakdale Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that serves one high school, Neligh-Oakdale High School. The high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 120th out of 217 Nebraska high schools in 2018-2019 to 174th out of 215 in 2022-2023, and is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Neligh-Oakdale High School has mixed performance. While its NSCAS Mathematics proficiency rates for 7th and 8th grades are higher than the state averages, its ACT proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (49.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is often an indicator of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it spends a significant amount per student ($23,373), which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, this does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, or school leadership, may be playing a role in the school's performance.
