Summary:
The 68507 zip code in Lincoln, Nebraska is home to a single high school, Lincoln Northeast High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, this school appears to be one of the lower-performing high schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska.
Lincoln Northeast High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools, with a 0-star rating and a ranking of 134 out of 146 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and lower-than-average proficiency rates on the ACT in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state. Additionally, 65.12% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,057 in 2023-2024 and a student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which is slightly higher than the state average, Lincoln Northeast High School continues to underperform on key metrics when compared to the Lincoln Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska as a whole. Addressing the underlying factors that contribute to the school's low performance, such as attendance, academic support, and targeted interventions for economically disadvantaged students, should be a priority for the school and the district in order to improve outcomes for the students.
