Summary:
Nebraska City Public Schools has one middle school, Nebraska City Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, ranking 179 out of 200 Nebraska middle schools and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.
Nebraska City Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in NSCAS/English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions, such as 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency being higher than the state average. The school's socioeconomic factors, including a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and relatively high per-student spending, may be contributing to the academic performance challenges.
To improve the performance of Nebraska City Middle School, the Nebraska City Public Schools district may need to focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted strategies to support student learning and achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.
