Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the 68978 zip code - Superior Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Superior Public Schools district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 155th out of 459 schools in 2022-2023 to 240th out of 428 schools in 2023-2024 and 233rd out of 274 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other Nebraska elementary schools.
Superior Elementary School's test scores are mixed compared to the state averages. While 3rd grade math proficiency is higher than the state average, 3rd and 4th grade ELA proficiency are significantly lower than the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% for the 2024-2025 school year, indicating attendance and engagement may be an issue. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which could be a positive factor in terms of individual attention and support for students.
With a spending per student of $21,690 for the 2023-2024 school year, Superior Elementary School's funding appears to be relatively high, but it's unclear how this spending is being allocated and whether it is translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average math proficiency, but also faces challenges in terms of declining statewide rankings, lower-than-average ELA proficiency, and high chronic absenteeism.
