Summary:
Schuyler Community Schools in Nebraska has only one middle school, Schuyler Middle School, which serves 401 students. The school is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and its district, Schuyler Community Schools, is ranked 179 out of 182 districts in the state.
Schuyler Middle School's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 217 out of 249 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 178 out of 200 in 2023-2024. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and its test scores are generally lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was 51.94% compared to the state average of 58.3%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,722 in 2022-2023 and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 12.7, its performance metrics continue to lag behind the state. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes. The high percentage of students (70.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, which can contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing.
