Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68729

Summary:

The 68729 zip code area is home to two small schools - Creighton Elementary School and Creighton Community High School, both part of the Creighton Community Public Schools district. While the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska schools, the high school performs in the middle of the state rankings. Both schools have mixed academic performance, with some grades exceeding state averages and others falling below.

Creighton Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 175 students in grades PK-6, and it has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is higher than the state average, and a significant portion of its students (28%) receive free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's per-student spending of $18,463 is relatively high. In contrast, Creighton Community High School has an enrollment of 115 students in grades 7-12 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school's graduation rate of 88.1% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate matches the elementary school at 21.1%. The high school also has a high percentage of students (36.52%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending of $27,669 is very high.

Overall, the schools in the 68729 zip code area face some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of students from low-income families. However, the high per-student spending at both schools suggests that resources are being allocated to support student success. Further analysis of the schools' academic performance, resource allocation, and strategies to address chronic absenteeism could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
