Summary:

The 68341 zip code in Nebraska is home to two schools, Tri County Elementary School and Tri County Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Tri County Public Schools district. While both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, the data suggests that Tri County Junior-Senior High School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Nebraska.

Tri County Junior-Senior High School has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years and is currently ranked 13 out of 168 Nebraska high schools. The school's students excel on ACT tests, with proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science well above the state averages. In contrast, Tri County Elementary School's test scores are more variable, with 5th grade science proficiency slightly below the state average, but the school still performs significantly above the state average in ELA and math.

Both schools have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, which is an encouraging sign. However, the higher spending per student at Tri County Junior-Senior High School ($24,036) compared to Tri County Elementary School ($17,011) may be contributing to the high school's stronger academic performance. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, ranging from 29.83% to 34.9%, indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, an important factor to consider in the context of the schools' performance.
