The 68107 zip code in Omaha, Nebraska is home to a single high school, South High School, which serves a student population of 2,495. While the school benefits from higher spending per student and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, its academic performance lags significantly behind district and statewide metrics.
South High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% falls below the Nebraska state average of 89.7%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is nearly double the state's 11.5% average.

Despite the additional resources directed towards South High School, the school's performance has consistently ranked among the lowest in the state, placing 197th out of 215 schools in 2022-2023 and 144th out of 146 schools in 2024-2025 according to the SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that students in the 68107 zip code may be facing significant educational challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions to address.
