Summary:
The 68733 zip code has only one middle school, Emerson-Hubbard Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 114th out of 200 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 195th out of 249 in 2021-2022, it has a relatively small student population of 66 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1.
Academically, Emerson-Hubbard Middle School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science show a mixed performance compared to state averages, with the school outperforming the state in some areas and falling behind in others. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to its fluctuating performance. Additionally, over a third of the school's students (36.36%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $21,089, the academic outcomes suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being utilized to better support student learning and achievement. The Emerson-Hubbard Public Schools district will likely need to address the unique challenges faced by Emerson-Hubbard Middle School, such as high chronic absenteeism and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
