High Schools in Cross County Community Schools

The Cross County Community Schools district in Nebraska is home to a single high school, Cross County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking 82 out of 215 Nebraska high schools in the 2022-2023 school year with a 3-star rating, after ranking 171 out of 202 schools the previous year with a 1-star rating.

Cross County High School outperforms the state averages in key academic areas, with 59.38% of students proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts compared to 33.35% statewide, 28.13% in ACT/Mathematics versus 26.23%, and 28.13% in ACT/Science compared to 25.25%. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 91.06% of students identifying as White, and a significant portion (30.08%) coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the school's academic performance, the fluctuations in its ranking and the demographic makeup of the student body suggest areas for further investigation and potential improvement. The district's higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio of 9.4 may be contributing factors to the school's strong academic outcomes, but the school's challenges in maintaining consistent high performance indicate that there may be opportunities to enhance the educational experiences and opportunities available to all students in the Cross County Community Schools district.
