Summary:
The city of Randolph, Nebraska is home to two schools: Randolph Elementary School and Randolph High School, both part of the Randolph Public Schools district. While Randolph Elementary School performs at an average level, Randolph High School stands out as an exceptional institution, ranking 10th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Randolph High School's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with 68.42% proficient or better in ACT Math, 52.63% in ACT English Language Arts, and 42.11% in ACT Science - all well above the state averages. The school's students also outperform the state and district averages on the NSCAS English Language Arts, Math, and Science exams for grades 7 and 8. This strong performance is likely due to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8:1 and its significantly higher spending per student ($30,810) compared to the elementary school ($15,221).
In contrast, Randolph Elementary School appears to be performing at a more average level, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that are generally in line with or slightly below the state averages. The district may want to investigate the factors behind the elementary school's fluctuating performance and explore ways to ensure equity in resource allocation across the schools. Additionally, the overwhelming white student populations at both schools suggest a lack of racial diversity in the Randolph school system, which could be an area for the district to address.
