Summary:
The 68340 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Deshler Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Deshler Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 24 out of 115 in Nebraska and has a 4-star rating, Deshler Elementary's performance has declined over the past three years, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating on SchoolDigger.
Academically, Deshler Elementary's 6th grade ELA proficiency lags behind the state average, while 4th and 6th grade math proficiency are above the state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is high at 19.3%. With a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 47.24%, the school serves a student population facing significant economic challenges, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional support and resources.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($26,095) and low student-teacher ratio (10.8), the declining performance trends suggest opportunities to optimize the use of these resources to drive better student outcomes. Further analysis and comparison to state and district benchmarks could help identify targeted strategies to address the school's performance challenges and better support student success.
