Summary:
The Crete Public Schools district in Nebraska has only one high school, Crete High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 152nd and 176th out of Nebraska high schools in recent years and its SchoolDigger rating remaining at 1 out of 5 stars.
Crete High School's academic achievement is below state averages, with lower proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science compared to the state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.1% is also slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state's average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as Crete High School has a relatively high percentage of students (51.3%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending is in line with the state's average, but the high student-teacher ratio of 16.1 may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles. Overall, Crete High School appears to face a combination of academic, attendance, and socioeconomic challenges that require targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
