High Schools in Wood River Rural Schools

Summary:

The Wood River Rural High School is the sole high school serving the Wood River Rural Schools district in Nebraska. Despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, with test scores significantly higher than the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% for the 2024-2025 school year is notably higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is lower than the state average, suggesting a focus on personalized attention. However, the school's spending per student of $41,678 is higher than the state average, which raises questions about how these resources are being allocated and their impact on student outcomes.

With 47.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Wood River Rural High School serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may present unique challenges and require additional support to ensure these students have equal opportunities for success, despite the school's overall strong performance.
