Summary:
The 68333 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Crete Public Schools district. While the schools serve a diverse student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, Crete Middle School stands out as the highest performer, ranking 112 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Crete Middle School and Crete Intermediate School demonstrate strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, exceeding state averages. In contrast, Crete High School lags behind, with only 18-21% of 11th graders proficient in core subjects. The schools in this area serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 51% to 64%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Spending per student varies widely, from $12,724 at Crete High School to $19,254 at Crete Elementary School, which may contribute to the performance differences observed. Additionally, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 13.2 to 16.1, suggest the schools have the resources to provide more individualized attention, though further improvements are still needed, particularly at the high school level.
