Summary:
The 68930 zip code area is home to two schools, Blue Hill Elementary School and Blue Hill High School, both part of the Blue Hill Community Schools district. While the elementary school maintains consistent academic performance, the high school stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Nebraska and demonstrating strong proficiency rates across multiple subjects.
Blue Hill High School's academic excellence is evident in its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 11 out of 168 Nebraska high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. Its 11th-grade students have significantly higher proficiency rates in ACT English, Math, and Science compared to the state averages. In contrast, Blue Hill Elementary School has maintained strong proficiency rates in NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding the state averages.
Both schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 20%, which may require further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the higher free and reduced lunch rate at Blue Hill High School compared to the elementary school suggests the need to consider socioeconomic factors and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
