Crawford High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Crawford High School is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the rural town of Crawford, Nebraska, with a student population of just 72 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, this school has made remarkable strides in academic performance, ranking 17th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crawford High School's academic achievements are particularly impressive, with its 11th-grade students significantly outperforming the state averages on ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science assessments. However, the school's performance on NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics for 7th and 8th-grade students is more mixed, suggesting potential areas for improvement in the lower grades. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 8.4 students per teacher, likely contributes to its personalized learning environment and strong academic outcomes.

Another notable aspect of Crawford High School is its high spending per student, which reached $31,936 in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This investment in the school's resources and facilities may be a factor in its impressive academic performance. However, the school also serves a relatively high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 46.99% to 68.06% over the past three school years.
