Summary:
The city of Odell, Nebraska is home to a single high school, the Diller-Odell Secondary School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a relatively small student population of 99. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it currently ranks 78th out of 215 Nebraska high schools, a rebound from a low of 162nd out of 209 in 2020-2021.
Diller-Odell Secondary School stands out for its strong performance on ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science tests, exceeding the statewide averages. However, the school lags behind the state average in 8th grade NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting a need to focus on improving outcomes in these foundational subjects. The school's high spending of $26,085 per student, significantly above the national average, may contribute to its personalized learning environment, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratio of 8.6.
With only one high school serving the Odell area, the Diller-Odell Public Schools district faces the challenge of maintaining a consistent level of academic performance and addressing any areas of underperformance. The school's small size and high resource allocation could be both strengths and challenges, and further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region could provide valuable insights to help the district identify opportunities for improvement and best practices to emulate.
