Superior Public Schools

The Superior Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the Superior Elementary School stands out as a relative bright spot, with higher academic proficiency and a better ranking compared to the district's middle and high schools, the secondary schools in the district face significant challenges.

Superior Elementary School outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3-5, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2. In contrast, both Superior Middle School and Superior Senior High School have consistently underperformed the state average in academic proficiency, with low rankings from SchoolDigger.

The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all three schools in the Superior Public Schools district indicate that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges and improve the quality of education, particularly at the secondary level.
