Summary

Plattsmouth Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, which is part of the Plattsmouth Community Schools district. With 382 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 82-192 out of around 200-250 middle schools.

Plattsmouth Middle School faces several challenges, including below-average test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance varies significantly by student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for special education students but much lower for white students and male students. These disparities suggest a need to address equity and ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Liberty Middle School, Papillion Middle School, and Platteview Central Junior High School, Plattsmouth Middle School's performance lags significantly, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings. Addressing the school's challenges through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in helping Plattsmouth Middle School improve its overall outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
