Summary:
Gering Public Schools in Nebraska has only one middle school, Gering Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 53% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Gering Junior High School has fluctuated in its state ranking over the past few years, ranging from 198 out of 223 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 227 out of 249 in 2021-2022. In the current 2022-2023 school year, the school ranks 211 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is an underperforming school that could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
With a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, and a spending per student of $13,594, Gering Junior High School faces challenges in providing effective academic instruction and support for its diverse student population. The school's low proficiency rates and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest that the Gering Public Schools district may need to allocate additional resources and implement comprehensive strategies to address the needs of this middle school and improve overall educational outcomes.
