Summary:
The 68787 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Wayne Elementary School, Wayne High School, and Wayne Junior High School, all part of the Wayne Community Schools district. While Wayne High School stands out as a top performer, the data reveals notable differences in academic achievement across the schools in this area.
Wayne High School is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 51 high schools in Nebraska and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong academic performance, with over 60% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ACT - significantly higher than state averages. In contrast, Wayne Junior High School lags behind, ranking in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools and earning only a 1-star rating.
Across the 3 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are high, around 21.1%, which may be impacting overall academic performance. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school (39.71%), indicate a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. The district-level analysis suggests opportunities to address attendance, equity, and resource allocation to support student success across all grade levels.
