Shelby - Rising City High School has shown fluctuating academic performance, ranking as high as 30 out of 209 Nebraska high schools in 2020-2021 but dropping to 146 out of 215 in 2022-2023. The school's test scores have also been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science below state averages in the current school year, but significantly higher in 2020-2021. The school's student subgroups, such as female and male students, as well as White and low socioeconomic status students, have also shown notable differences in performance, suggesting equity and inclusion challenges.

Compared to nearby schools like Columbus High School and David City Secondary School, Shelby - Rising City High School has a relatively high spending per student at $23,506, which raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
