University Of Nebraska High School

The University of Nebraska High School is the sole public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in the University of Nebraska High School District, which is ranked 212 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. With only 197 students, the school has a predominantly white student population and consistently underperforms academically compared to the state average.

The University of Nebraska High School has struggled to improve its academic outcomes over time, ranking in the bottom tier of Nebraska high schools for the past three school years. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 7.25% of students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.35%, and the proficiency rate in ACT/Science was 8.7%, compared to the state average of 25.25%. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state average.

The lack of diversity in the school's student population, with 97.97% of students identifying as white, may be a concern and could indicate potential equity issues within the school. Additionally, the school's low free/reduced lunch rates of 1.52% suggest that the school's challenges are not necessarily related to socioeconomic factors. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the University of Nebraska High School District's underperformance and address the underlying issues to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for its students.
