Summary:
The 68071 zip code area is home to two schools - Winnebago Elementary School and Winnebago High School, both part of the Winnebago Public Schools District 17. Unfortunately, these schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages on key metrics, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
Both Winnebago Elementary and High School have ranked in the bottom 10% of Nebraska schools in recent years, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their students perform significantly below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, at 21.1% for both schools, well above the state average. Winnebago High School's four-year graduation rate of 88.1% is also below the state average.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the schools are still struggling to achieve better outcomes. This raises questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized, and whether there are broader district-level challenges impacting the performance of individual schools. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial to improving student outcomes in this community.
