Summary:
The 68776 zip code in Nebraska is home to a single middle school, South Sioux City Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with a current ranking of 105 out of 123 Nebraska middle schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, South Sioux City Middle School struggles to keep up with state averages. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state's, with 6th-grade ELA at 46.3% (vs. 58.64% state) and 6th-grade Math at 32.59% (vs. 56.08% state). The school's 8th-grade proficiency rates are also below state averages, though its 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 69.49% is closer to the state average of 76.11%. Despite the So Sioux City Community Schools spending $17,722 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains below par.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.11% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year indicates that resources are available, but the school's performance suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
