Summary:
The 68064 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Douglas County West Community Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools generally perform well academically, with the Douglas County West High School and Douglas County West Middle School outperforming state averages in several subject areas.
The Douglas County West High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 65th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It exceeds the state average in ACT proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3. The Douglas County West Middle School also performs well, ranking 116th out of 238 Nebraska middle schools and outperforming the state in NSCAS proficiency rates across multiple subjects.
While the schools have a predominantly white student population, the Douglas County West Elementary School and Douglas County West Middle School have higher free/reduced lunch rates compared to the high school, which may suggest potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level could indicate a focus on providing more resources for older students, while the lower spending at the elementary and middle school levels could be an area for potential improvement.
