Summary:
The 68713 zip code area is home to two schools, West Holt High School and Atkinson Elementary School, both part of the West Holt Public Schools district. While Atkinson Elementary has seen fluctuating performance, West Holt High School stands out as a consistently high-achieving school, ranking in the top quarter of Nebraska high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
West Holt High School's academic excellence is evident in its significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science for 11th-grade students. The school also outperforms the state in NSCAS/English Language Arts, NSCAS/Mathematics, and NSCAS/Science for 8th-grade students. Additionally, West Holt High School boasts an impressive 88.1% four-year graduation rate.
While both schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the data reveals an area of concern: elevated chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1% at both schools. This issue may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, exceeding 40%, suggest the need to consider the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and resource allocation within the district.
