Summary:
The 68502 zip code area of Lincoln, Nebraska is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 115 districts in the state. While the district has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, two schools in the area stand out as top performers - Sheridan Elementary School and Beattie Elementary School.
Sheridan Elementary is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 33 elementary schools in Nebraska over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Everett Elementary and Saratoga Elementary have lower performance, with test scores below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals that the schools in this area have varying rates of chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch recipients, and per-student spending, which may contribute to the differences in academic achievement. While factors beyond just district and school funding appear to be driving the performance gap, addressing attendance issues and providing tailored support based on the diverse student populations could be important areas of focus for the Lincoln Public Schools district.
