Summary:
The 68731 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Dakota City Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 237 students. The school is part of the South Sioux City Community Schools district, which is ranked 109 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the district's low ranking, Dakota City Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school within its district, with stronger test scores than the district and state averages in several key subject areas, including 5th grade ELA, Math, and Science. However, the school also faces some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and lower-than-average test scores in 3rd grade Math and ELA, as well as 4th grade ELA.
The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($17,911) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.3) suggest that the district is investing resources into the school, which may be contributing to its relatively strong academic performance. However, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (68.35%) indicates that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, making its academic achievements even more noteworthy.
