Wynot High School

Summary:

Wynot High School is a small public high school in Wynot, Nebraska, serving 63 students in grades 9-12. This school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in key subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2022-2023 school year, 60% of Wynot High School's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and Science, compared to the state averages of 33.35% and 25.25%, respectively.

Wynot High School has a strong track record of high statewide rankings, reaching as high as 2nd out of 217 Nebraska high schools in the 2018-2019 school year. In the most recent 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 31st out of 215 Nebraska high schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This impressive performance is likely due in part to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.6 to 11.9 over the past three school years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students. However, the school's funding has fluctuated significantly, from $18,079 to $27,415 per student, which may impact its ability to maintain its high standards.

One notable aspect of Wynot High School is its unique racial composition, with 100% of its students identifying as White. This is in contrast to the nearby Crofton High School and Hartington Newcastle High School, which have more diverse student populations. While Wynot High School outperforms these nearby schools academically, the homogeneity of its student body warrants further investigation into the school's recruitment and enrollment practices, as well as the demographics of the surrounding Crofton Community Schools and Hartington Newcastle Public Schools districts.

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.
