Garden County Junior/Senior High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Garden County Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Oshkosh, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The school is part of the Garden County Schools district, which is ranked 127 out of 182 districts in the state.

The school's performance has been quite variable over the years, ranging from a high ranking of 15th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 184th out of 219 in 2017-2018. However, the school's recent improvements, with a 5-star rating in 2022-2023 and a 4-star rating in 2021-2022, suggest that it may be on an upward trajectory. The school's graduation rates have been consistently high, ranging from 87% to 100% in recent years, significantly exceeding the state average.

While the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or exceed the state and district averages, it faces some challenges, such as varying levels of chronic absenteeism and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, however, suggest that the district is investing significant resources into the school, which may contribute to its overall academic performance.
