The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of middle schools in Nebraska, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and below-average proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the state averages.

Nebraska City Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and a relatively high-need student population, with 53.99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's underperformance, it has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding or resources, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of these resources to improve student outcomes.

To address the school's challenges, targeted interventions and strategies tailored to the specific needs of the school and its community may be necessary. This could include efforts to increase proficiency rates, reduce chronic absenteeism, and provide additional support and resources for the high-need student population.
