Broken Bow Middle School consistently outperforms the state averages on the NSCAS exams, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 62nd out of 123 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 137th out of 200 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are also strong, with a majority of students scoring proficient or better. Despite these academic strengths, Broken Bow Middle School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% for the 2024-2025 school year, which could be an area for improvement.
With a significant proportion (38.79%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Broken Bow Middle School serves a population with a higher level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending of $13,839 and student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1 suggest the district is allocating resources to support the school's operations and provide a relatively small class size, which can be beneficial for student learning.
