While the data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and school performance, the analysis does not show a clear link between spending per student and school quality. For instance, Chadron Senior High School, the top-performing high school, had the highest spending per student, while Chadron Intermediate, a lower-performing elementary school, had the lowest spending per student. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in determining school performance in the Chadron, Nebraska area.
