Summary:

The 68352 zip code area in Nebraska is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Jefferson Intermediate School and Central Elementary School) and 1 high school (Fairbury Junior-Senior High School) - all of which appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide benchmarks.

None of the schools in the 68352 zip code area stand out as high-performing, with Fairbury Junior-Senior High School ranked 127 out of 168 Nebraska high schools and Jefferson Intermediate School ranked 323 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools. All three schools have low 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, and their test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are below the state averages.

The high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 54.64% to 57.78%, suggest that these schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the overall academic challenges. Additionally, the schools have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. While spending per student varies across the schools, the data highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address the systemic issues and improve educational outcomes for all students in the Fairbury Public Schools district.
