Summary:

The 68456 zip code is home to a single high school, Centennial Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 102 out of 168 Nebraska high schools in 2023-2024 and 114 out of 215 in 2022-2023, and its rating ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale.

Centennial Junior-Senior High School has seen some strengths, such as higher-than-average ACT proficiency rates in Mathematics, but also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in the 2024-2025 school year. The school spends a relatively high amount per student ($27,826) compared to the state average, but it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into better overall academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.8 suggests a potentially favorable learning environment, but more information would be needed to understand how this ratio impacts student learning and achievement.

Overall, while Centennial Junior-Senior High School is the only high school in the 68456 zip code, its performance has been mixed, with both strengths and areas for improvement. Parents and students in the area may want to closely examine the school's academic outcomes, attendance rates, and other key metrics to determine if it is the right fit for their educational needs.
