Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Cedar Bluffs High School is a public high school serving 171 students in grades 9-12 in Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, which is part of the Cedar Bluffs Public Schools district. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with some areas of strength but also challenges that need to be addressed.

Academically, Cedar Bluffs High School has had 59.09% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 50% in ACT Mathematics, and 63.64% in ACT Science in the 2023-2024 school year. These scores are generally higher than the state averages but lower than some nearby high-performing schools like Yutan High School and Mead High School. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 25.9% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

On a positive note, Cedar Bluffs High School has had relatively strong graduation rates, with a 94.7% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's state ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions and support for the school's more economically disadvantaged population could be important steps in improving student outcomes at Cedar Bluffs High School.
