Summary:
The 68116 zip code area in Nebraska is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Elkhorn Public Schools and Omaha Public Schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the two districts, with the Elkhorn Public Schools district consistently outperforming the Omaha Public Schools district across various metrics, including test scores, school rankings, and free/reduced lunch rates.
The standout schools in the 68116 area are Elkhorn North High School, which is ranked 3rd out of 215 Nebraska high schools and has a 5-star rating, as well as two Elkhorn Public Schools elementary schools - Manchester Elementary, ranked 22nd out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools, and Sagewood Elementary, ranked 36th. These schools boast exceptional test scores and have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates compared to the Omaha Public Schools district schools.
The data also reveals that the spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to have a direct correlation with the schools' performance. The top-performing schools, such as Elkhorn North High School and Manchester Elementary, have relatively lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios compared to some of the lower-performing schools. This highlights the importance of factors beyond just funding and class size, such as district-level leadership, curriculum, and community engagement, in driving student success.
