However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 86.53% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the state average and differs from the more diverse nearby school, Neligh-Oakdale High School, where 87.14% of students are White. Additionally, Summerland High School has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 28.49% in 2021-2022 to 47.15% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing economic need within the school's community.
While Summerland High School's academic performance is strong, there are some areas of concern. The school has shown a notable difference in performance between female and male students, with the school ranking 7th out of 132 Nebraska high schools for female students, but only 58th out of 135 for male students. Additionally, there has been a slight decline in some test scores over the past two years, and the school's spending per student has decreased from $23,188 in 2021-2022 to $20,494 in 2022-2023, which may have implications for the school's ability to maintain its high academic performance and support its growing population of students in need.
