Summary:
The 68920 zip code area is home to two schools, Alma Elementary At Alma and Alma High School, both part of the Alma Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 63 out of 115 in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating, the data reveals some standout elements about these schools.
Alma Elementary At Alma consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, earning 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Alma High School has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 156th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 119th out of 202 in 2021-2022 and 111th out of 209 in 2020-2021. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success.
However, both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates that exceed the state average, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the district serves a population with economic challenges. The district should focus on addressing these issues to ensure continued academic progress and support for all students in the 68920 zip code area.
