Summary:
Cozad Community Schools in Nebraska is home to a single high school, Cozad High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the Nebraska benchmarks. Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a relatively small class size, Cozad High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Cozad High School's student population is predominantly White (73.46%), with a significant Hispanic minority (21.92%). Nearly half of the students (47.31%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student body. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance, which is a concern for the Cozad Community Schools district and the local community.
While Cozad High School's small class sizes could be a positive factor, the school's consistently low rankings and poor academic outcomes suggest that other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions, may need to be addressed to improve the educational experience and outcomes for the students. The district and community may need to explore ways to support the school and its students, particularly those facing economic challenges, in order to raise the level of academic achievement and provide a high-quality education for all.
