Summary:
The 68504 zip code area of Lincoln, Nebraska is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools consistently underperforming compared to the Lincoln Public Schools and Nebraska averages.
Riley Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools, as well as the highest 5th-grade science proficiency. In contrast, Culler Middle School and Huntington Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates across all subjects, which may be linked to their high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also reveals disparities in funding, with Huntington Elementary School spending the most per student, yet having the lowest proficiency rates. This suggests that simply allocating more funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The findings highlight the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the performance gaps and the development of targeted strategies to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 68504 zip code area.
