Summary:
The 68410 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average test scores, a few standout institutions are worth highlighting.
Hayward Elementary School stands out with its relatively strong performance on NSCAS science tests and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools. Meanwhile, Nebraska City Middle School has outperformed the district and state averages on NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics tests. However, the Nebraska City Public Schools district as a whole is ranked 176 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement across the district.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 47.9% to 60.66%, suggest that the schools in this area serve a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the variation in test scores between the high school and the elementary/middle schools suggests that the district could benefit from identifying and addressing specific areas of weakness, particularly in the earlier grades, to improve overall academic performance.
