Alice Buffett Magnet Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the state and district averages.

The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and it has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages.
