Summary:
The Rock County Public Schools district in Nebraska has only one high school, Rock County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some strengths, such as its performance on state-specific assessments and its well-resourced environment, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic outcomes and rankings.
Rock County High School has a total enrollment of 97 students, with a predominantly White student population (97.94%). The school's proficiency rates on the ACT assessments are below the state average, but its performance on the NSCAS assessments for 7th and 8th-grade students is generally higher than the state average. This suggests that the school may be more effective in preparing students for the state-specific NSCAS assessments compared to the more nationally recognized ACT.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, ranging from 73rd out of 202 Nebraska high schools in 2021-2022 to 118th out of 209 in 2020-2021. This variability in performance could be due to various factors, such as changes in student population, curriculum, or teaching practices. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $26,933 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1, indicating a well-resourced environment. However, these resources may not be fully translating into strong student outcomes, particularly on the ACT assessments. The school also serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (40.21%), which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
