Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68729

Summary:

The 68729 zip code is home to two schools: Creighton Elementary School and Creighton Community High School, both part of the Creighton Community Public Schools district. Based on the available data, Creighton Community High School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the elementary school in statewide rankings and demonstrating stronger academic outcomes.

Creighton Community High School has earned 3- and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Nebraska high schools. The high school also boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.7 compared to 10.7 at the elementary school, which may contribute to its better performance. However, the high school's 8th-grade NSCAS Science proficiency rate of 43% is significantly lower than the state average of 64%, indicating a potential area for improvement.

While Creighton Elementary School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the high school's 11th-grade ACT English Language Arts proficiency rate is on par with the state average. Additionally, the high school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with a free and reduced lunch rate of 36.52% compared to 28% at the elementary school. This suggests that the high school may require additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population.
