Summary:
The 69341 zip code area is home to 5 schools in the Gering Public Schools district, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While some of the elementary schools, like Geil Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, are performing well above the district and state averages, the middle and high school, Gering Middle School and Gering High School, have struggled, ranking in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in the state.
The district as a whole is ranked 150 out of 182 in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting room for improvement across the district. One area of concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% across all schools, which may be contributing to the overall academic performance challenges. Additionally, there is a wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 43.5% at Geil Elementary to 68.44% at Northfield Elementary, indicating potential disparities in student populations and resource needs.
While some of the elementary schools in the 69341 zip code area are performing well, the district as a whole has room for improvement, particularly in addressing the struggles of the middle and high school. Addressing chronic absenteeism, improving test scores, and ensuring more equitable outcomes across all schools should be priorities for the Gering Public Schools district.
