Summary:
The 68735 zip code is home to two schools, Summerland Elementary School and Summerland High School, both part of the Summerland Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 87 out of 115 in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating, Summerland High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking in the top 40 high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Summerland High School boasts impressive academic achievements, with 80% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, 72.5% in Math, and 90% in Science. The school's 87.9% 4-year graduation rate is also a point of pride. In contrast, Summerland Elementary School's test scores, while still above the state average in some areas, are more mixed, with 67.74% of 3rd-graders proficient or better in ELA and 61.29% in Math.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.3% and serving a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the schools' relatively high spending per student, at $21,717 for the elementary school and $21,412 for the high school, suggests a commitment to providing quality education despite the district's overall lower ranking.
