Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 68465 zip code - Wilber-Clatonia Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district. The school has consistently received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools over the past three years.
Academically, Wilber-Clatonia Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage (34.72%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student body.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,757 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which is slightly lower than the state average, the academic performance of Wilber-Clatonia Middle School remains a concern. The school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices, addressing the factors contributing to high absenteeism, and providing additional support and resources to address the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.
