Summary:
The Wood River Rural Schools district in Nebraska has a single middle school, Wood River Rural Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 126 students. While the school outperforms the state average in Mathematics across all grade levels, it has mixed results in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, with 8th-grade students underperforming the state average in these subjects.
Demographically, the school has a predominantly White student population (77%) and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 47%, indicating a significant portion of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests the need to consider the unique needs and challenges faced by the school's diverse student body, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds, and to ensure the school's strategies effectively support the academic and social-emotional development of all its students.
In terms of resources, the school's per-student spending of $493 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4 indicate efficient resource allocation. However, it would be valuable to understand how the school's funding and staffing levels compare to other similar-sized or high-performing schools in the state to ensure the school has the necessary resources to support student success in all subject areas.
