Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68405

Summary:

The 68405 zip code in Nebraska is home to two schools, Milford Elementary School and Milford High School, both part of the Milford Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 81 out of 182 in Nebraska, the data suggests that Milford High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating in 2022-2023.

Milford High School's impressive test scores, with 60.78% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 58.82% in ACT Mathematics, and 60.78% in ACT Science, significantly outpace the state averages. Milford Elementary School also shows strong academic performance, with 6th-grade students scoring well above the state average in both English Language Arts (77.42% proficient or better) and Mathematics (73% proficient or better) on the NSCAS assessments.

However, both schools face challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with rates higher than the state average at 21.1%. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school ($12,376 vs. $19,416) suggests the district may be allocating resources differently between the two levels of education, which could potentially impact equity and access for all students in the district.
