Summary:

Nederland Middle-Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 with around 260 students in the town of Nederland, Colorado, which is part of the highly-ranked Boulder Valley School District. The school has some unique characteristics that set it apart from nearby high schools.

One notable difference is the school's racial makeup, with around 89% of students being white, which is significantly higher than the more diverse student populations at schools like Arapahoe Ridge High School and Boulder Prep Charter High School. Academically, Nederland Middle-Senior High School outperforms state and district averages in several test categories, but underperforms in CMAS Math. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 34%) compared to other high-performing schools in the district, such as Fairview High School (13.62%) and Boulder High School (27.68%).

One potential contributing factor to Nederland Middle-Senior High School's unique characteristics may be its relatively small size, with a student-teacher ratio of around 13:1, compared to the larger high schools in the district, such as Fairview High School (21.5:1) and Boulder High School (20.1:1). While the school's small size may allow for more individualized attention, the higher free/reduced lunch rate and underperformance in math suggest areas for potential improvement and further investigation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
