Plainview Secondary School

Summary:

Plainview Secondary School is a public high school in Plainview, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 143 students. The school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, with strong academic performance and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Plainview Secondary School stands out for its exceptional academic achievements. The school's students significantly outperform state averages on standardized tests, with 66.67% of 11th-graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.35%. This consistent high performance has earned the school a ranking of 32 out of 215 high schools in Nebraska. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with only a small percentage of minority students, which may impact the diversity of the school's cultural and social environment.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Neligh-Oakdale High School, Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School, and Pierce Junior/Senior High School, Plainview Secondary School stands out with its high academic performance and low student-teacher ratio of 8.7. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 39.86%, suggests that it serves a more affluent community, which may contribute to its strong academic results. However, the school's high spending per student, at $26,658, indicates that it is investing significant resources in its educational programs, which may also be a factor in its success.

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.
