Summary:
South Platte Public Schools in Nebraska has only one high school, South Platte High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a total enrollment of 108 students, with a predominantly White student body and a significant Hispanic population.
Academically, South Platte High School faces some challenges compared to state averages in Nebraska. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments, such as the ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Science, and NSCAS/Mathematics, are generally lower than the state averages. However, the school's 11th-grade ACT/English Language Arts proficiency rate matches the state average. The school's 8th-grade students performed better on the NSCAS/English Language Arts assessment, with a 59% proficiency rate, compared to the 7th-grade students' 29% proficiency rate.
Despite the academic performance challenges, South Platte Public Schools appears to be allocating significant resources to support the high school. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 and a high per-student spending of $22,079. However, these resources have not yet translated into higher academic outcomes, which may be influenced by the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a relatively low socioeconomic status among the student population.
