Garden County Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Garden County Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Oshkosh, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The school is part of the Garden County Schools district, which is ranked 127 out of 182 districts in the state.

The school's performance has been quite variable over the years, ranging from a high ranking of 15th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 184th out of 219 in 2017-2018. However, the school's recent improvements, with a 5-star rating in 2022-2023 and a 4-star rating in 2021-2022, suggest that it may be on an upward trajectory. The school's graduation rates have been consistently high, ranging from 87% to 100% in recent years, significantly exceeding the state average.

While the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or exceed the state and district averages, it faces some challenges, such as varying levels of chronic absenteeism and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, however, suggest that the district is investing significant resources into the school, which may contribute to its overall academic performance.

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.
