Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68862


Summary:

The 68862 zip code area is home to two schools - Ord Elementary School and Ord Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Ord Public Schools district. While the schools have some notable differences, they both face challenges in terms of student performance and diversity.

Ord Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students at 92.72%, compared to the state's more diverse student population. In contrast, Ord Junior-Senior High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which could indicate more individualized attention for high school students. However, both schools lag behind the state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, suggesting room for improvement in academic achievement.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating that the local community may face economic challenges that could impact student learning. The similar spending per student at both schools suggests that funding levels are not the primary driver of the performance differences between the elementary and high school. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the issues of diversity, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors in order to improve educational outcomes for students in this zip code area.
