Gordon-Rushville High School

Summary:

Gordon-Rushville High School is a public high school in Gordon, Nebraska, serving 152 students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly White (63.16%), with significant representation from Native American (14.47%) and multi-racial (15.13%) students.

The school's academic performance has been variable, with a ranking of 173 out of 215 Nebraska high schools and a 1-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year, but a much higher ranking of 39 out of 202 schools and a 4-star rating in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30%), Mathematics (16.67%), and Science (16.67%) are generally below the state averages, though they have shown some improvement in recent years. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds (59.42%), and its performance in serving this population has been mixed.

One potential strength of Gordon-Rushville High School is its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.7 to 9.3 students per teacher over the past three school years, which may allow for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's fluctuating performance and challenges in serving its diverse student population suggest a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to improve overall outcomes.

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.
