Summary:
The Wood River Rural Schools district in Nebraska is home to a single high school, Wood River Rural High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects significantly below state averages. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Wood River Rural High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is well below the state averages. Only 25.58% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.35%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate is just 13.95%, compared to the state average of 26.23%. The school's Science proficiency rate of 11.63% also falls short of the state average of 25.25%. These academic performance concerns suggest the need for the school to focus on improving educational outcomes for its students.
The school's ranking and recognition have also been volatile in recent years, ranging from a high of 4 stars out of 5 in the 2020-2021 school year to a low of 1 star in 2021-2022. This fluctuation in performance and recognition indicates that the school may be facing ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence. Additionally, the school's small size, with only 154 students enrolled, may present both advantages and disadvantages in terms of resources and opportunities available to students.
