Middle Schools in North Platte Public Schools

The North Platte Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to two middle schools: Adams Middle School and Madison Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and face similar challenges in terms of academic performance and student needs.

According to the data, neither Adams Middle School nor Madison Middle School are considered standout performers in the state. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools by SchoolDigger and have a 1-2 star rating, indicating below-average performance. Their proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages, and both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of over 21%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data suggests that factors beyond just resources may be impacting student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 48% at each school, indicates that the district may be serving a predominantly low-income student population, which could present additional challenges in terms of providing equitable educational opportunities. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and exploring ways to better support the needs of the district's high-need student population could be important areas of focus for the North Platte Public Schools district.
