Summary:

The 68978 zip code is home to a single middle school, Superior Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, it continues to face academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the state averages.

Despite the school's declining performance, it does have some potential strengths, such as a higher-than-average 8th-grade science proficiency rate. Additionally, the school appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students at Superior Middle School.

Overall, the data suggests that Superior Public Schools and the community may need to explore targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic challenges faced by Superior Middle School and help improve student learning outcomes.
