Htrs Middle School

Q: Is Htrs Middle School a good school?

Htrs Middle School ranks 39 th of 234 Nebraska middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Htrs Middle School is a small public middle school in Humboldt, Nebraska, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 62 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, this school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, as well as its unique racial makeup and high spending per student.

Htrs Middle School has significantly outperformed nearby schools like Falls City Middle School and Auburn Middle School in key metrics. In the 2022-2023 school year, Htrs Middle School's 8th-grade students achieved an impressive 87% proficiency rate in ELA, well above the state average of 62%. Additionally, the school's 7th-grade students boasted a 78% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 66%. This strong academic performance is complemented by a low student-teacher ratio of 7.4, significantly lower than the nearby schools.

However, Htrs Middle School's performance has fluctuated over the years, and the school's high spending per student of $26,317 (compared to $16,929 at Falls City Middle School and $15,312 at Auburn Middle School) may raise questions about the efficiency of its resource allocation. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.39%) compared to the surrounding area, though it has seen a slight increase in racial diversity in recent years. As parents consider educational options for their children, Htrs Middle School's unique strengths and challenges make it an intriguing choice, especially when compared to the performance of Falls City Public Schools and Auburn Public Schools in the region.

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.
