Summary:
The 68420 zip code area is home to two schools - Pawnee City Elementary School and Pawnee City Secondary School, both part of the Pawnee City Public Schools district. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share some common challenges, including low statewide rankings and ratings, predominantly White student populations, and mixed academic performance.
Neither school stands out as a clear standout, with both the elementary and secondary schools ranked relatively low in the state, earning just 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The elementary school's proficiency rates in NSCAS/ELA and NSCAS/Math are generally below state averages, while the secondary school's ACT/Math and ACT/Science scores are significantly lower than the state averages. However, the secondary school's 8th-grade NSCAS scores are closer to the state averages, suggesting a more mixed academic performance.
Both schools serve a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Interestingly, the secondary school spends nearly $10,000 more per student than the elementary school, despite having a much lower student-teacher ratio. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 68420 zip code area are facing challenges in terms of academic performance and overall school quality, and further investigation would be necessary to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
