Summary:
Ralston Public Schools in Nebraska has only one middle school, Ralston Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Ralston Middle School is not a standout performer among Nebraska middle schools, ranking 153 out of 200 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ralston Middle School faces several challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is relatively high. The school's academic performance on standardized tests is also below the state average in several areas, particularly in mathematics, where 7th and 8th-grade students scored significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 63.58%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges for the student body.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the overall quality of education provided at Ralston Middle School appears to be an area of concern, as evidenced by its low ranking and 1-star rating. The district and school leadership may need to develop a comprehensive plan to address the identified issues, such as improving academic instruction, addressing attendance problems, and providing additional resources and support for the school's economically disadvantaged population.
