Silver Lake High School

Summary:

Silver Lake High School is a public high school located in Roseland, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 103 students and is part of the Silver Lake Public Schools district.

While Silver Lake High School outperforms the state average on several key test score metrics, including ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, its academic performance is not significantly better than the state average. The school has a higher percentage of white students (94.17%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Silver Lake High School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.92%) and a higher spending per student ($29,627) compared to nearby schools like Hastings Senior High School and Kenesaw Secondary School. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is not significantly higher than the state average, suggesting that factors other than funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student engagement, may be more important in driving student achievement.

Interestingly, Silver Lake High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 26th out of 242 Nebraska high schools in 2014-2015 to 170th out of 219 in 2017-2018, indicating inconsistent performance. When compared to nearby schools like Adams Central Junior-Senior High School, which have higher test scores and rankings despite lower spending per student, it suggests that Silver Lake High School may have room for improvement in terms of academic performance and overall school quality.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
