Summary:
The 68118 zip code area is home to three exceptional schools - one elementary school and two middle schools. Aldrich Elementary and Elkhorn Ridge Middle School stand out as top performers in the state, consistently ranking among the best schools in Nebraska. These schools boast high test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a socioeconomically advantaged student population.
Kiewit Middle School, on the other hand, has a higher free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting a more diverse student body in terms of socioeconomic status. While Kiewit Middle School also performs well, with test scores above district and state averages, it does not reach the exceptional levels of Elkhorn Ridge Middle School and Aldrich Elementary.
Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, standing at 19.3% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. Addressing this issue could be a valuable focus for these schools. Additionally, the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at Elkhorn Ridge Middle School and Aldrich Elementary likely contribute to their exceptional academic performance, providing valuable insights for other schools in the Millard Public Schools and Elkhorn Public Schools districts.
