Summary:
The Sargent Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Sargent High School and Sargent Elementary School. While the elementary school has maintained a relatively stable statewide ranking and rating, the high school has seen a significant decline in its performance over the past few years.
Sargent High School has dropped from the 73rd to the 159th position out of 215 Nebraska high schools, accompanied by a drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1 star. In contrast, Sargent Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating and a ranking of 136th out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools. The elementary school also has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of non-white students compared to the high school.
Additionally, Sargent Elementary School spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Sargent High School. This suggests a greater emphasis on individualized attention and resource allocation at the elementary level. The higher free and reduced lunch rates at the elementary school may also indicate socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, which could have implications for the school's resource needs and support services.
