Best Public Schools in Zip Code 69129

The 69129 zip code area is home to two schools - Creek Valley Elementary School and Creek Valley High School, both part of the Creek Valley Schools district. While the high school appears to be the stronger performer, both schools face challenges related to serving a predominantly low-income student population.

The high school stands out with a higher statewide ranking of 3 stars, compared to the elementary school's 1-star rating. This may be attributed to the high school's significantly higher spending per student ($38,340) versus the elementary school ($23,194). Additionally, the high school has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 5.3, compared to 11.3 at the elementary school, potentially indicating better resources and support for students.

However, both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, at 63.01% for the high school and 49.49% for the elementary school, suggesting the district serves a predominantly low-income student population. The elementary school's test scores also lag behind the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the challenges faced by these schools and improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
