Summary:

The 69101 zip code area of North Platte, Nebraska is home to 8 elementary schools that are part of the North Platte Public Schools district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, with student populations ranging from 100 to 322.

Among the schools in this area, McDonald Elementary School and Lake Maloney Elementary School stand out as the top performers. McDonald Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 34-62 elementary schools in Nebraska, earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger, and has significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. Lake Maloney Elementary has also performed well, ranking in the top 111-186 elementary schools and earning 3-4 stars.

However, the data reveals a wide range of performance among the schools, with some, like Cody Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, struggling to meet proficiency standards, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, all schools in the area have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting potential equity issues within the district that may need to be addressed.
