Minatare High School

Summary:

Minatare High School is a public high school in Minatare, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 78 students. Despite its small size, the school stands out for its diverse student population and unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Minatare High School has a significantly more diverse student body, with 50% Hispanic and 6.41% Native American students, which is much higher than the surrounding Mitchell Public Schools, Bayard Public Schools, Gering Public Schools, and Scottsbluff Public Schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Mitchell Secondary School, Bayard Secondary School, Gering High School, and Scottsbluff Senior High School.

Despite the high spending of $35,079 per student, which is significantly more than the nearby schools, Minatare High School's academic performance remains well below the state and district averages. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the factors contributing to the low academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance has been on a downward trend, with its SchoolDigger ranking declining over the years, suggesting that the challenges facing Minatare High School may be deepening. These findings highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to address the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community.

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.
