Summary:
The 68522 zip code has only one school, Roper Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 863 students. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 130 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Roper Elementary School's academic performance is consistently below the district and state averages, particularly in the higher grade levels. The school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. The school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 58.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it spends more per student ($13,149) than the national average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is slightly higher than the national average. This suggests that additional funding and smaller class sizes alone may not be the solution, and the school may need to examine its resource allocation and instructional practices to improve student outcomes.
