Summary:

The 68883 zip code is home to a single high school, Wood River Rural High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with fluctuating statewide rankings, strong academic achievement, and indications of socioeconomic challenges.

Over the past three years, Wood River Rural High School has seen its statewide ranking vary significantly, from a high of 48 out of 168 Nebraska high schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 196 out of 215 in 2022-2023. However, the school's 11th-grade students have demonstrated strong academic performance, with the majority scoring proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science. The school's spending of $41,678 per student is notably higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is lower than the national average, which may contribute to its academic success.

Despite these strengths, Wood River Rural High School faces some challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (47.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This could impact student performance and attendance, and the school may need to implement targeted strategies to address these issues and support student success.
