Summary:
The 68061 zip code in Nebraska is home to two schools: Elementary School At Tekamah and High School At Tekamah, both part of the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools district. While the elementary school is ranked 255 out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools, the high school ranks 193 out of 215 Nebraska high schools, both with below-average performance compared to state standards.
The elementary school has a relatively high percentage of white students (96.63%) and spends $15,708 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency are below the state average across all grade levels. In contrast, the high school has an even higher percentage of white students (93.48%) and spends a significantly higher amount per student ($25,062), yet its performance on ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency is significantly below the state average.
Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, with the elementary school at 13:1 and the high school at 8.7:1. Additionally, the free and reduced lunch rates are relatively high, at 35.35% for the elementary school and 31.3% for the high school, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. These factors, combined with the schools' underperformance, raise questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve the academic outcomes for students in the 68061 zip code.
