Summary:
Centura Public Schools in Nebraska has only one high school, Centura Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages while others fall below. Centura Secondary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, but its ranking and rating have fluctuated significantly in recent years.
Centura Secondary School's proficiency rates on the ACT and NSCAS tests vary, with the school outperforming the state average in ACT Science and NSCAS English Language Arts, but underperforming in ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's ranking has ranged from 27th out of 209 schools (4 stars) in 2020-2021 to 155th out of 202 schools (1 star) in 2021-2022, indicating inconsistent academic performance. The school's relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 32.69% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income families, which can impact academic outcomes.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it appears to have a strong resource allocation, with a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 and high per-student spending of $20,582, which is above the state average. The school's leadership and community could focus on improving its performance in areas where it is lagging behind state averages, such as ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics, and analyze the factors contributing to the school's fluctuating ranking and rating over the years to identify areas for targeted improvement.
