Best Public Schools in Zip Code 69153

Summary:

The 69153 zip code area is home to two schools - Prairie View School, an elementary school, and Ogallala High School. While Prairie View School has outperformed state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, Ogallala High School has struggled to meet state benchmarks in ACT proficiency. Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Prairie View School is ranked 187 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years. Ogallala High School, on the other hand, is ranked 145 out of 168 Nebraska high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has also experienced a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

A concerning issue for both schools is their high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, significantly above the state average. This could be an area of concern and may require further investigation to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve student attendance. Addressing the unique needs of these student populations, who face significant socioeconomic challenges, may be crucial in improving the overall educational outcomes for the schools in the 69153 zip code area.
