Summary:
Southwest Public Schools in Nebraska has one high school, Southwest Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, suggesting potential areas for improvement.
Southwest Junior/Senior High School has a predominantly white student population (84.35%) and a relatively high percentage of students (55.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student is significantly higher than the state average, at $33,096, which raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
Despite the school's overall strong performance, there are some areas that could use improvement, such as the 11th-grade ACT proficiency rate in Mathematics, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the fluctuations in the school's statewide ranking suggest that the factors contributing to its performance may be variable and warrant further analysis. Overall, Southwest Junior/Senior High School appears to be a standout school in the Southwest Public Schools district, with opportunities for continued growth and improvement.
