Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68640

The 68640 zip code area is home to two schools, Twin River Elementary-Genoa and Twin River Senior High School, both part of the Twin River Public Schools district. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school lags behind in several key metrics.

Twin River Senior High School ranks 55 out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores significantly outperform the state averages, with 41.67% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.35% and 26.23% respectively. In contrast, Twin River Elementary-Genoa ranks 254 out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools and earns a 2-star rating, with test scores generally below the state averages.

Both schools have a student population that is over 90% White, which is significantly higher than the state's overall racial demographics. Additionally, the schools have relatively high spending per student, with Twin River Elementary-Genoa spending over $26,000 per student. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the resource allocation, especially given the mixed performance outcomes across the two schools.
