While most of the schools in this area perform well below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, a few standout schools emerge. King Elementary School and Franklin Elementary School have relatively strong performance, with proficiency rates above the district average in several subjects. However, the majority of the schools in the data set rank in the bottom 10% of Nebraska elementary schools, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

A concerning trend across all 9 schools is the uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $17,329 at North High School to $22,221 at Kennedy Elementary School, suggests potential funding inequities that may impact the resources and support available to students.
