Summary:
The 68522 zip code has only one school, Roper Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district. While the school has a high enrollment of 851 students, its academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across multiple grade levels.
Roper Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 251-353 out of 274-459 Nebraska elementary schools in the past three school years, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 0-2 stars out of 5. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and a high percentage of students (57.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the student population.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $14,250 for the 2023-2024 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively allocated to improve student outcomes. The combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges suggests that Roper Elementary School may require targeted interventions and support to address these issues and provide a quality education for its students.
