Summary:
The 68801 zip code area of Grand Island, Nebraska is home to 10 elementary schools, all part of the Grand Island Public Schools district except for one school, Lockwood Elementary, which is part of the Northwest Public Schools district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational experiences in the Grand Island community.
Among the standout schools in the area, Stolley Park Elementary School ranks the highest statewide, with strong test scores and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Knickrehm Elementary School also stands out for its impressive math performance, while Seedling Mile Elementary School, though smaller, boasts excellent test scores in both English Language Arts and Math. However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and state averages in these core subjects, suggesting opportunities for improvement in instructional practices and targeted support for struggling students.
Across the 10 schools, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, with all schools exceeding the state average. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $13,852 at Dodge Elementary to $20,623 at Knickrehm Elementary, points to potential inequities in resource allocation that may impact student outcomes. Overall, the data provides a detailed look at the elementary school landscape in the 68801 zip code, highlighting both areas of strength and opportunities for growth within the district.
