Ord Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Ord Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Ord, Nebraska, with a student population of 246. The school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and declining statewide rankings.

Ord Junior-Senior High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates in ACT English Language Arts (15.56%), ACT Mathematics (22.22%), and ACT Science (13.33%) all falling short. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.84%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Interestingly, the school's spending per student is relatively high at $18,944, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, suggesting a focus on resource allocation and a more personalized learning environment.

Compared to nearby schools like Burwell Junior-Senior High School and Arcadia High School, Ord Junior-Senior High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.53%) and a lower representation of minority students. However, both Burwell and Arcadia outperform Ord in terms of academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in standardized tests. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 76th out of 217 Nebraska high schools in 2018-2019 to 191st out of 215 in 2022-2023, is a concerning trend that the Ord Public Schools district will need to address.

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.
