Summary

Northeast Secondary School is a public high school located in Lyons, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 145 students. The school is part of the Lyons-Decatur Northeast Schools district, which is ranked 82 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northeast Secondary School has consistently performed well on standardized tests, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science compared to the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, 56% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.74%. The school's performance in Mathematics has been more mixed, with proficiency rates sometimes below the state average. However, Northeast Secondary School has a strong track record in serving specific student subgroups, such as ranking 7th out of 135 Nebraska high schools for male students and 11th out of 89 for low socioeconomic status students in 2022-2023. The school's four-year graduation rates have also been consistently high, ranging from 87.9% to 95.4% in recent years, which are above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Northeast Secondary School generally outperforms Logan View Junior/Senior High School and High School at Tekamah in academic metrics, but lags behind the highly-ranked Pender High School. The school's spending per student ($25,353 in 2023-2024) is higher than nearby schools, but this does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Northeast Secondary School has also experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 20th out of 219 Nebraska high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 179th out of 247 in 2013-2014, indicating the need for consistent improvement efforts.
