Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68507

Summary:

The 68507 zip code area of Lincoln, Nebraska is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Lincoln Public Schools district. While the area has a mix of high and low-performing schools, Kahoa Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranking among the best in the state. In contrast, Pershing Elementary and Norwood Park Elementary appear to be lower-performing, with test scores well below district and state averages.

Key metrics reveal some concerning trends across the schools in this area. All schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, the schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Pershing Elementary and Norwood Park Elementary, also have the lowest test scores, suggesting a potential correlation between economic disadvantage and academic performance.

Funding allocation also appears to be uneven, with Norwood Park Elementary spending significantly more per student than Kahoa Elementary. These disparities in resources and outcomes highlight the need for the Lincoln Public Schools district to closely examine equity and ensure all students in the 68507 area have access to a high-quality education.
