Summary:
Alliance Public Schools has only one high school, Alliance High School, which serves grades 9-12. Located in Alliance, Nebraska, the school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges compared to state averages. With a predominantly White student population (62.21%) and a high rate of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility (49.08%), the school's performance on state assessments lags behind, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all well below the Nebraska state averages.
Alliance High School's academic struggles are reflected in its declining statewide ranking, dropping from 152 out of 209 schools to 186 out of 215 schools over the past three years. The Alliance Public Schools district as a whole is also ranked 204 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader systemic challenges within the district that may be contributing to the issues faced by Alliance High School.
Despite the academic and socioeconomic challenges, Alliance High School spends $17,281 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1. However, these investments have not yet translated into improved educational outcomes for the school's students. Addressing the root causes of the academic performance and socioeconomic disparities will be crucial for the school and district to improve and better serve the needs of the local community.
