Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68640

The 68640 zip code area is home to two schools, Twin River Elementary-Genoa and Twin River Senior High School, both part of the Twin River Public Schools district. While the high school is a standout performer, ranked 34 out of 146 Nebraska high schools, the elementary school appears to be an area of concern, with a lower statewide ranking and generally underperforming the state averages on key test score metrics.

The data suggests a significant performance gap between the two schools. Twin River Senior High School outperforms the state averages on several key test score metrics, including ACT Math, ACT Science, and NSCAS Science, and has a strong 87.9% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Twin River Elementary-Genoa has a lower statewide ranking, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.

Both schools have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with Twin River Elementary-Genoa at 9.7 and Twin River Senior High School at 9.4, indicating a potential strength in terms of individualized attention for students. However, this does not seem to be translating into consistently high academic outcomes, particularly at the elementary level. Additionally, both schools have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which may be an area for the district to focus on improving.
