The school has received a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Nebraska high schools. While female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed relatively better, the school's overall academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, has been significantly below the state average. Compared to nearby high schools like Blair High School and Oakland Craig Junior-Senior High, High School At Tekamah generally performs worse on academic measures and has a lower statewide ranking.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,030 to $25,062 in recent years) compared to nearby schools like Blair High School ($13,447 per student), and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, High School At Tekamah continues to face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 9.7% to 21.5% in recent years. The data suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with its higher-performing peers.

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.
