Summary:
The 68853 zip code area is home to two schools - Loup City Elementary School and Loup City High School, both part of the Loup City Public Schools district. While the elementary school performs well in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts, the high school struggles with below-average proficiency rates on 11th grade ACT assessments. Both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 85% of students being white, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Loup City Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts, but it underperforms in 4th grade English Language Arts and 4th, 6th grade Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Loup City High School exceeds the state averages in 8th grade NSCAS Math and Science, but its 11th grade ACT proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science are well below the state averages.
The significant difference in spending per student between the elementary school ($19,608) and the high school ($28,221) is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation into the allocation of resources and the potential impact on student learning. Overall, the data suggests that while there are some areas of strength, the schools in the 68853 zip code area face challenges in terms of student diversity, academic performance, and resource allocation that may need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for the community.
