Summary:

The 68927 zip code area has only one elementary school, Bertrand Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-6. The school's performance has seen some fluctuations, ranking 137th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 280th out of 459 schools the previous year.

Bertrand Elementary School's test scores show a mixed performance, with 4th and 6th-grade students performing above the state average in English Language Arts, and 6th-grade students performing above the state average in Mathematics. However, 3rd and 5th-grade students scored below the state average in English Language Arts. The school spends $21,451 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4.

While the school's high spending and small class sizes suggest a focus on supporting student learning, the fluctuating rankings and inconsistent academic results indicate the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching methods, and strategies for supporting student success. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.89%) suggests the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student achievement.
