Summary:
The Paxton Consolidated Schools district in Nebraska is home to a single high school, Paxton High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been consistently below the state average, with the school ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in Nebraska.
Paxton High School's enrollment of 97 students is predominantly White (85.57%) with a significant Hispanic population (14.43%). The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 38.14% is higher than the state average, suggesting it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's performance on 7th and 8th-grade assessments is mixed, with some subjects exceeding the state average, its 11th-grade students consistently underperform their peers statewide in subjects like English Language Arts and Science.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $24,942 and low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, Paxton High School has received a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked as low as 206th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively translating its resources into strong academic outcomes for its students, raising concerns about the equity of educational opportunities provided to the community.
