Summary:

The 68528 zip code area in Nebraska is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, the data reveals some concerning trends in their academic performance and resource allocation.

Northwest High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 207th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 121st out of 146 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also below the district and state averages. However, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% for the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, Lakeview Elementary School has also experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 386th out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 392nd out of 428 in 2023-2024. Lakeview Elementary's test scores in these core subjects are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school has a high percentage of students (78.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Northwest High School spending $18,559 per student and Lakeview Elementary School spending $16,155 per student for the 2023-2024 school year. These disparities in funding and performance suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the Lincoln Public Schools district.
