Summary:
The 68409 zip code is home to a single high school, Conestoga Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. This public school is part of the Conestoga Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Conestoga Junior/Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 79th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 (3-star rating) to 105th out of 168 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). However, the school's academic performance is relatively strong, with students exceeding the state average in most subjects on both ACT and NSCAS assessments. The school's four-year graduation rate is 87.9%, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8.
Despite the school's academic success, it faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and serving a student population with a 28% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a relatively low-income community. The school's well-resourced status, with per-student spending of $20,325, may contribute to its academic performance, but the district's overall low ranking suggests there is room for improvement in the broader educational system serving this area.
