Johnson County Central Public Schools

The Johnson County Central Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from a range of backgrounds. While the schools show some variation in performance, the Johnson County Central Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 89 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several key academic areas.

The district's schools serve a diverse student population, with the Johnson County Central High School having the most diverse racial makeup, including 27.45% Hispanic and 1.31% African American students. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with significant variation in free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, ranging from 40.51% to 54.11%, indicating potential equity concerns. Additionally, the district's overall performance in Mathematics lags behind the state averages, presenting an opportunity for improvement.

Despite these challenges, the district also has strengths, such as the strong performance of the Johnson County Central Middle School and the relatively low student-teacher ratios across the district, which could contribute to personalized attention and support for students. By addressing the identified areas for improvement and building on the strengths of the high-performing schools, the Johnson County Central Public Schools district can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all its students.
