Stapleton High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Stapleton High School is a public high school located in Stapleton, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 92 students. The school is part of the Stapleton Public Schools district and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 93rd out of 215 Nebraska high schools for the 2022-2023 school year.

Stapleton High School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for NSCAS/English Language Arts, NSCAS/Mathematics, and NSCAS/Science for 8th grade students, as well as in 11th grade ACT assessments. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83% to 100% over the past few years, which are consistently above the state average. However, the school has experienced varying levels of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.6% to 29.1% over the past few years, which could be an area of concern.

Interestingly, Arnold High School, located approximately 17 miles from Stapleton High School, shares some similarities in terms of school size, student demographics, and academic performance. However, Arnold High School has a higher four-year graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism compared to Stapleton High School, despite spending less per student and having a slightly higher student-to-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just academic achievement may be influencing the performance of Stapleton High School.
