Summary:

The 68527 zip code in Nebraska is home to a single standout elementary school, Robinson Elementary School, which is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district. Despite the district's overall ranking of 95 out of 115 in the state, Robinson Elementary consistently performs in the top 30% of Nebraska elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robinson Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students outperforming both the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 75.86% of 5th-grade students at Robinson were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.23% for the district and 55.79% for the state. Similarly, in 2023-2024, 81.48% of 4th-grade students at Robinson were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 54.92% for the district and 59.96% for the state.

While Robinson Elementary has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 31.61% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, the school's strong academic performance and investment in resources, such as a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and higher-than-average spending per student of $18,088, suggest a commitment to providing a quality education for all students. However, the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in 2024-2025 may be an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
