Summary:
The 68642 zip code in Nebraska is home to two schools: Humphrey Elementary School and Humphrey Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Humphrey Public Schools district. While the elementary school performs well, the standout in this area is the junior-senior high school, which has consistently ranked among the top 10 high schools in Nebraska and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Humphrey Junior-Senior High School's exceptional performance is evident in its students' strong test scores, with 67.86% proficient or better in ACT Mathematics and 75% proficient or better in ACT Science, significantly outpacing the state averages. The school also boasts an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Humphrey Elementary School, while also outperforming the state in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics, has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which is an area that may require further attention.
The data also reveals some interesting differences between the two schools, such as the higher free and reduced lunch rate at the junior-senior high school (18.8%) compared to the elementary school (4.02%), and the higher spending per student at the elementary school ($21,373) compared to the high school ($19,925). These variations may reflect the changing socioeconomic dynamics of the student population as they progress through the education system or differences in the cost structures between the two school levels.
