Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68405

The 68405 zip code area is home to two schools, Milford Elementary School and Milford High School, both part of the Milford Public Schools district. While Milford Elementary serves a student population of 461, Milford High School stands out as a top-performing high school, ranking 23 out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milford High School's academic excellence is evident in its students' significantly higher test scores compared to state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ACT exam. The school's strong performance is further reflected in its 4-star rating and top 10% ranking in the state. In contrast, Milford Elementary School's test scores, while solid, are not as exceptional as its high school counterpart, with proficiency rates ranging from 51-81% across different subjects and grade levels.

Both schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to consider addressing. Additionally, Milford High School spends more per student ($19,416) compared to Milford Elementary ($12,376), which could contribute to the high school's superior academic outcomes. The low student-teacher ratios at both schools, 11.9:1 at the high school and 15:1 at the elementary school, suggest a focus on providing individualized attention to students.
