Summary:
The 68873 zip code area is home to two schools - St Paul Elementary School and St Paul Junior/Senior High School, both part of the St Paul Public Schools district. While the elementary school performs reasonably well, the junior/senior high school stands out as a top-performing institution in the state.
St Paul Junior/Senior High School is a standout, ranking 20th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform state averages in English Language Arts and Math, with 54.72% and 43.4% proficiency rates respectively, compared to the state averages of 33.35% and 26.23%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 26.73%, suggesting a more affluent student population. In contrast, St Paul Elementary School ranks 198th out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools, earning a 3-star rating, and its test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with low representation of minority groups. The spending per student is relatively high for both schools, at $16,296 for the elementary school and $16,144 for the junior/senior high school. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, at 12.6 to 1 for the elementary school and 14 to 1 for the junior/senior high school. However, the free/reduced lunch rates, while not extremely high, suggest that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying potential areas for improvement.
