Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68780

Summary:

The 68780 zip code is home to two schools, Stuart Elementary School and Stuart High School, both part of the highly-ranked Stuart Public Schools district. While the district as a whole performs exceptionally well, the individual school results show some variation, with Stuart High School standing out as a standout institution and Stuart Elementary School seeing a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Stuart High School is a clear highlight, ranked 21st out of 168 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrate impressive academic achievement, with 84.21% proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 57.89% in ACT Mathematics, and 73.68% in ACT Science - all significantly outpacing state averages. The school also boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 88.1% and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.6.

In contrast, Stuart Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking decline from 157th out of 452 Nebraska elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 262nd out of 442 in 2020-2021, despite the district's overall high performance. While 3rd-grade students at the elementary school perform well above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, 5th-grade students lag slightly behind the state average in English Language Arts. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of over 50% also suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may impact the school's resources and needs.
