Summary:
Hastings Public Schools in Nebraska has one high school, Hastings Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation and smaller percentages of other minority groups. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by ACT proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state averages in all three subject areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science).
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, the lower academic performance raises concerns about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.55%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may have implications for the school's resources, support services, and overall educational environment.
Overall, the data highlights the need for Hastings Public Schools to focus on improving the educational outcomes at Hastings Senior High School. The school's diverse student population and higher spending per student present both challenges and opportunities for the district to address and enhance the learning experiences for its students.
