Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68841

Summary:

The 68841 zip code is home to two schools: Giltner Elementary School and Giltner High School, both part of the Giltner Public Schools district. While Giltner Elementary School performs close to the state average, Giltner High School stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Nebraska.

Giltner High School has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 49th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students exceeding the state average in several key metrics, including ACT English Language Arts, ACT Mathematics, and ACT Science. Additionally, Giltner High School's 7th and 8th-grade students have demonstrated strong performance on the NSCAS assessments, surpassing the state averages in multiple subjects.

In contrast, Giltner Elementary School appears to be performing closer to the state average, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student population is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. Additionally, the high school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, as indicated by its higher free/reduced lunch rate compared to the elementary school. These factors may contribute to the differences in academic performance between the two schools, and the district may want to explore ways to promote greater diversity and address socioeconomic disparities to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
