Summary:
The 68465 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools generally underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, there are some standout schools and areas of strength within the district.
The Elementary School At Wilber stands out for its strong performance on 5th grade science tests, with 88.1% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 83.38%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 and spends a relatively high amount per student at $18,129. Meanwhile, the Wilber-Clatonia High School outperforms the state average on ACT English Language Arts, with 53.06% of 11th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42.74%, and maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%.
However, the schools in the 68465 zip code area face some significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, which are higher than the state's target of 10%. Additionally, the schools serve a population with a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 34.72% to 37.55%, indicating significant economic challenges. The differences in per-student spending between the elementary/high schools and the middle school could also be an area to investigate further to ensure equitable resource allocation across all grade levels.
