This district is highly ranked, coming in at 27th out of 182 districts in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the 68135 area stand out as particularly high-performing, including Wheeler Elementary School, ranked 20th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools with 5 stars, Reagan Elementary, ranked 9th with 5 stars, and Willowdale Elementary School, ranked 13th with 5 stars.

Additionally, Russell Middle School stands out, ranking 5th out of 200 Nebraska middle schools with 5 stars and exceptional proficiency rates in core subjects.

While the overall performance of the schools in the 68135 area is strong, there are some areas for potential improvement. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is higher than the state average, and there is a noticeable gap in performance between the highest-ranked and lowest-ranked schools. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates vary significantly, from around 12% to 25%, which may be a factor in the differences in academic achievement. However, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to be directly correlated with the schools' performance, suggesting other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may play a more significant role.
