Summary:

The 69034 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Southwest Elementary-Indianola, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Southwest Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 119 out of 212 in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating, Southwest Elementary-Indianola stands out with its strong performance on English Language Arts (ELA) tests, where 5th and 6th-grade students exceed the state average by 11 and 10 percentage points, respectively.

However, the school's math scores are more mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade students performing below the state average, but 5th and 6th-grade students excelling. This suggests a need to strengthen math instruction in the lower grades. Additionally, over 50% of Southwest Elementary-Indianola's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged population. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support to this student population.

Overall, Southwest Elementary-Indianola appears to be a strong-performing school, particularly in ELA, but with room for improvement in math instruction. The school's demographics and resource allocation indicate a commitment to supporting its economically disadvantaged students, which is a commendable focus for the community.
