GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Minden is a very welcoming school. You get super close to the teachers, have nice class sizes, and good class options. You are invited to take part in multiple athletics and activities. An extra plus we have off campus lunch along with a new facility. We have a big community support from our residents and we are pretty close to Kearney or Hastings if you need more to do.
