Summary:
The 69140 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Perkins County Elementary School, which serves students from the Perkins County Schools district. This school has maintained a relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally above the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 158 and 184 out of 274-459 Nebraska elementary schools over the past few years, currently holding a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Perkins County Elementary School has a student population of 234 and a higher rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 33.76%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school allocates resources in a way that prioritizes smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, which is lower than the state average. This, along with the school's higher per-student spending of $19,084, may contribute to its academic performance.
While the school's overall performance is generally strong, there are some grade levels where proficiency rates fall below the state average, such as 6th grade English Language Arts in 2024-2025. This suggests the need to further investigate the factors driving these fluctuations and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed, regardless of their economic background.
