Summary:
Weeping Water Public Schools has only one middle school, Weeping Water Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced challenges in recent years, ranking between 163rd and 169th out of 200-249 Nebraska middle schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Academically, Weeping Water Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (50%), Mathematics (45%), and Science (65%) are all below the state averages for Nebraska. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which may be impacting academic outcomes. The school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with 38.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Weeping Water Middle School's small student population of 60 students and lower student-teacher ratio of 8.1 may provide opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions. However, the school's lower spending per student of $8,411, which is below the state average, may limit its ability to invest in resources and support for students. Addressing the school's academic performance and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach to ensure all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
