What this school's NCES data tells you

Wynot High School reports 56 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 6.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 10.5:1 student-teacher ratio.

Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 33% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 15.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 49% below the Nebraska average and 69% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 224 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 16.1% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding Wynot Public Schools spends $20,864 per pupil district-wide, above the Nebraska average of $17,680 and above the national average of $16,593.

Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 51/100 (C-), calculated from 5 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
