Crawford High School

Summary:

Crawford High School is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the rural town of Crawford, Nebraska, with a student population of just 72 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, this school has made remarkable strides in academic performance, ranking 17th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crawford High School's academic achievements are particularly impressive, with its 11th-grade students significantly outperforming the state averages on ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science assessments. However, the school's performance on NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics for 7th and 8th-grade students is more mixed, suggesting potential areas for improvement in the lower grades. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 8.4 students per teacher, likely contributes to its personalized learning environment and strong academic outcomes.

Another notable aspect of Crawford High School is its high spending per student, which reached $31,936 in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This investment in the school's resources and facilities may be a factor in its impressive academic performance. However, the school also serves a relatively high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 46.99% to 68.06% over the past three school years.

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.
