Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68748

The 68748 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - Madison Elementary School, Madison High School, and Madison Middle School - all part of the Madison Public Schools district. The data shows these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low rankings, test scores, and other key metrics.

None of the schools in the 68748 zip code area stand out as high-performing. All three schools have 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-ranked schools in the state. Their test scores in math and English language arts fall below state averages, and the 4-year graduation rate at Madison High School, while relatively high at 88.1%, is still below the state average.

Factors that may be contributing to the schools' low performance include high poverty levels, with 61-73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism rates that are significantly higher than the state average. Despite the low performance, the schools appear to have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting the issue may not be a lack of resources but rather how those resources are being utilized or other factors impacting student success.
