Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68922

Summary:

The 68922 zip code area is home to two schools - Arapahoe Elementary School and Arapahoe High School, both part of the Arapahoe Public Schools district. While Arapahoe High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking and outperforms the state average on several key test metrics, the district as a whole and Arapahoe Elementary School appear to be struggling, with below-average performance compared to other schools in Nebraska.

Arapahoe High School has moved up in the statewide rankings over the past few years and now sits at 103rd out of 168 high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. The high school also has higher proficiency rates than the state average in ACT English Language Arts, ACT Mathematics, and ACT Science. In contrast, Arapahoe Elementary School has proficiency rates below the state average in many grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of a strong performance in 6th grade mathematics.

Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1% and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating significant economic challenges for the student populations. Addressing these issues and providing additional support and resources could be key focus areas for the district moving forward to improve academic outcomes for all students.
