Summary:
The 68510 zip code area of Lincoln, Nebraska is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with Pyrtle Elementary and Eastridge Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in the state, while others like Elliott Elementary struggle to meet state and district averages.
The data also reveals high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the 68510 zip code, which is a concern that warrants further investigation. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with schools serving a higher proportion of low-income students tending to have lower test scores and rankings.
Despite these challenges, the area is also home to high-performing schools like Lincoln East High School, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ACT tests and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.1%. By understanding the factors driving these performance gaps, Lincoln Public Schools can work to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the district.
