Summary:
Scottsbluff Public Schools in Nebraska has one middle school, Bluffs Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and Native American representation, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, Bluffs Middle School has a mix of strengths and weaknesses. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are above the state average for 7th and 8th grades, but slightly below the state average for 6th grade. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average for 6th and 8th grades, but on par with the state average for 7th grade. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate matches the state average of 64%. However, the school's overall ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, ranking 152nd out of 238 Nebraska middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the academic performance data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement in certain areas. The school's diverse student population and commitment to resource allocation suggest a focus on supporting student learning, but the declining ranking and mixed academic performance suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies to ensure consistent and strong academic outcomes for all students.
