Summary:
The 68653 zip code has only one school, Platte Center Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with 156 students. The school is part of the Lakeview Community Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 182 school districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Platte Center Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Lakeview Community Schools district average in English Language Arts, but above the state average. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are mostly above the district average and significantly above the state average. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is an area for improvement. Additionally, 50.64% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Platte Center Elementary School appears to be effectively allocating its resources, with above-average per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3. This suggests the school is providing a good level of individual attention for its students. Overall, the school's strong mathematics performance and efficient resource allocation are positive indicators, but the high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges may require targeted interventions to continue improving student outcomes.
