Wynot High School

Wynot High School is a small public high school in Wynot, Nebraska, serving 63 students in grades 9-12. This school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in key subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2022-2023 school year, 60% of Wynot High School's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and Science, compared to the state averages of 33.35% and 25.25%, respectively.

Wynot High School has a strong track record of high statewide rankings, reaching as high as 2nd out of 217 Nebraska high schools in the 2018-2019 school year. In the most recent 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 31st out of 215 Nebraska high schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This impressive performance is likely due in part to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.6 to 11.9 over the past three school years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students. However, the school's funding has fluctuated significantly, from $18,079 to $27,415 per student, which may impact its ability to maintain its high standards.

One notable aspect of Wynot High School is its unique racial composition, with 100% of its students identifying as White. This is in contrast to the nearby Crofton High School and Hartington Newcastle High School, which have more diverse student populations. While Wynot High School outperforms these nearby schools academically, the homogeneity of its student body warrants further investigation into the school's recruitment and enrollment practices, as well as the demographics of the surrounding Crofton Community Schools and Hartington Newcastle Public Schools districts.
