Summary:
The 68059 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Springfield Platteview Community Schools district. While the schools have generally maintained consistent performance, with some standout academic achievements, the district should address the concerning chronic absenteeism rates and ensure more equitable funding across all schools.
Platteview Senior High School is a standout, ranking 42 out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating and outperforming the state and district averages in ACT proficiency rates. Springfield Elementary School also stands out, ranking 211 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools with a 3-star rating and outperforming the state and district averages in NSCAS proficiency rates.
However, all three schools in the area have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the data shows a significant difference in per-student spending between the high school ($21,255) and the elementary and middle schools ($14,884 and $15,980, respectively), indicating a potential funding disparity that the district may want to address to ensure equitable resources across all schools.
