Kimball Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Kimball Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Kimball, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 167. The school is part of the Kimball Public Schools district, which is ranked 157 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kimball Junior/Senior High School has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby Potter-Dix Junior/Senior High School, with a lower percentage of white students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state averages, particularly in 11th-grade ACT Mathematics. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these challenges, Kimball Junior/Senior High School has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may provide more resources and individualized attention for its students.

Kimball Junior/Senior High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, and its academic performance has been inconsistent, with better results in 7th and 8th-grade NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics but significantly lower 11th-grade ACT scores compared to the state averages. The school may need to focus on implementing targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique challenges of its diverse student population and improve overall academic 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.
