Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68776

The 68776 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the So Sioux City Community Schools district. While the district is ranked 109 out of 115 in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating, some schools within the district stand out.

Cardinal Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the data set, ranked 156 out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science among the elementary schools, and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 67.05%. In contrast, Covington Elementary School and Lewis & Clark Elementary School struggle with low test scores and rankings.

The data also reveals significant disparities within the district, with schools like Harney Elementary School having the second-highest proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science despite being ranked 248 out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism across the schools suggest that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, and the varying spending per student and student-teacher ratios indicate that resources may not be evenly distributed among the schools. Addressing these disparities and challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students in the community.
