Summary:

The 68928 zip code area has only one elementary school, Silver Lake Elementary School-Bladen, which serves grades PK-6. This public school is part of the Silver Lake Public Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating.

Silver Lake Elementary School-Bladen has 123 students enrolled and performs above the state average in both ELA and Math proficiency for 3rd and 6th grades. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%. The school's high spending per student of $29,649 may be due to its small size and low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 students per teacher. Additionally, 43.09% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population.

Overall, Silver Lake Elementary School-Bladen appears to be a strong performer academically, but the school community faces attendance and economic challenges that may require additional attention and resources to address. While there are no other elementary schools in the 68928 zip code to compare it to, the school's performance and metrics provide valuable insights for parents and the community.
