Summary:

Silver Lake High School has a student enrollment of 103 and is part of the Silver Lake Public Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 182 school districts in Nebraska and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as a 61.9% proficiency in ACT/English Language Arts for 11th grade, and some areas of weakness, such as a 52.38% proficiency in ACT/Science for 11th grade. The school's graduation rate of 88.1% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly above the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is an area that may require attention.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($29,627) and low student-teacher ratio (8.2:1), which may indicate a focus on personalized education, the school's overall performance suggests room for improvement. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, and its 35.92% free/reduced lunch rate suggests a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. Further analysis and comparison to state and national benchmarks could help identify opportunities for growth and development at Silver Lake High School.
