Summary:

The 68333 zip code in Nebraska is home to three elementary schools: Crete Intermediate School, Crete Elementary School, and Crete Preschool. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Crete Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, Crete Intermediate School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 69.81% of 5th graders proficient or better in NSCAS Mathematics and 90.57% proficient or better in NSCAS Science, both significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 205th out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 175th out of 274 in 2024-2025.

In contrast, Crete Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $17,382, which could indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students. The district as a whole, however, is ranked 108th out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of individual schools.
