Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Loomis Secondary School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Loomis, Nebraska, with a total enrollment of 118 students. The school is part of the Loomis Public Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loomis Secondary School has consistently performed well on standardized tests, with students scoring significantly above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also maintains a high graduation rate, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Loomis Secondary School has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 35.59% in 2022-2023, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 9.3 over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, Loomis Secondary School generally outperforms them in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, and it has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 6.3% to 21.5% over the past few years. These factors suggest that the school may need to address attendance and equity-related issues to maintain its strong academic performance and continue to provide a high-quality education for its students.
