Summary:

There is only one elementary school located in the 68017 zip code area - Elementary School At Ceresco, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Raymond Central Public Schools district. The school has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating on SchoolDigger and falling in the state rankings from 136 out of 457 to 254 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools.

While the school's 4th grade math proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, its 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is significantly lower. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%. However, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 13.79% is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population.

Despite the school's declining performance, it spends a significant amount per student, at $16,276 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the national average. This could indicate a focus on resource allocation and investment in the school's educational programs. Overall, the data suggests that Elementary School At Ceresco has some areas of strength, but also faces challenges in maintaining its academic performance and addressing chronic absenteeism.
