High Schools in Overton Public Schools

Overton Public Schools in Nebraska has only one high school, Overton High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a total enrollment of 113 students, with a racial makeup of 85.84% White, 1.77% African American, and 12.39% Hispanic. While Overton High School performs better than the state average in some academic areas, such as ACT/English Language Arts, it lags behind in others, including ACT/Science and NSCAS/English Language Arts.

Overton High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years, ranging from 29th out of 202 Nebraska high schools in 2021-2022 to 140th out of 215 in the current year. This inconsistency suggests that the school's performance may be influenced by factors not easily captured in the data. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students (41.59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status that may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Despite the Overton Public Schools district's high spending per student ($23,837, significantly higher than the state average), the school's mixed academic results and fluctuating performance rankings suggest that the investment may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 could be a strength, but the data indicates that the school may require targeted interventions and support to address its areas of weakness and improve overall student performance.
