Summary:
The 69155 zip code area is home to two schools - Paxton Elementary School and Paxton High School, both part of the Paxton Consolidated Schools district. While the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, the high school has consistently underperformed, ranking 206 out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023.
Paxton Elementary School's proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts are relatively high compared to the state average, but 6th grade proficiency drops significantly in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Paxton High School's 11th grade ACT proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are less than half the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in these areas. Both schools serve a population with relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting socioeconomic factors may be impacting academic performance.
Despite the high spending per student at both schools, the academic performance data suggests the resources are not translating into improved student outcomes. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity in the student populations may be a factor to consider in the schools' approaches to curriculum, instruction, and support services. Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges faced by the schools in the 69155 zip code area, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.
