Summary:
The 69341 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Gering Public Schools district. While the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all schools rated 1 or 2 stars by SchoolDigger and performing below state averages on many metrics, a few standout schools demonstrate strong performance.
Lincoln Elementary School has the highest test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects compared to the other elementary schools, with 74.47% of 5th graders proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2024-2025. Geil Elementary School has also shown consistent improvement, moving from a 4-star to a 2-star rating over the past few years and boasting a 75% math proficiency rate among 4th graders.
While not the highest performers, Northfield Elementary School and Gering High School stand out for their high percentage of free/reduced lunch students and above-average graduation rates, respectively, suggesting they may be effectively supporting their more disadvantaged populations. However, the district-wide issue of high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.3% across all schools, is an area that requires attention and improvement efforts.
