Summary:

The 68601 zip code area is home to a single high school, Lakeview High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's academic performance, as measured by ACT proficiency rates, outpaces the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, its overall statewide ranking and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate room for improvement in other areas.

Lakeview Community Schools spends $18,711 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which is lower than the state average. These investments may be aimed at addressing the school's higher-than-average percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which can present additional challenges. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% in 2024-2025 is slightly above the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is higher than desired.

Overall, Lakeview High School appears to be a solid performer academically, but there are opportunities for the school to enhance its overall performance and reputation within the state. The school's fluctuating statewide ranking and 2-star rating suggest that the school could focus on improving areas such as graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and overall school climate to better serve its students and community.
