Summary:

The 68967 zip code is home to a single elementary school, So Valley Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance and characteristics provide a unique insight into the educational landscape of this area.

So Valley Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, placing 107th out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools in 2024-2025, 154th out of 428 in 2023-2024, and 66th out of 459 in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance on NSCAS tests is generally above the state average, with 3rd and 6th-grade students scoring higher than the Nebraska average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests the school is effectively supporting student learning and achievement, despite the challenges it may face.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.7% in 2023-2024). Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $19,698, which is higher than the state average, indicating the school is allocating significant resources to support its students. While this may be a positive sign, it also raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
