Summary:
The 68920 zip code is home to a single high school, Alma High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Alma Public Schools district. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to demonstrate mixed academic performance, with some areas exceeding the state average and others falling short.
Alma High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year is 87.9%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 19.3% for the same year. The school's test scores show it performing above the state average in science and 7th-grade English Language Arts, but underperforming in 8th-grade English Language Arts. With a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 40.44% for the 2023-2024 school year, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to ensure student success.
Despite the school's declining statewide ranking, from 111 out of 209 Nebraska high schools in 2020-2021 to 156 out of 215 in 2022-2023, Alma High School remains the only high school option for students in the 68920 zip code. The school's small size, with just 183 students, may present both advantages and limitations in terms of course offerings and extracurricular activities. Continued efforts to address the school's areas of concern and build on its strengths will be crucial in supporting the academic and personal growth of its students.
