Best Public Schools in Zip Code 69348

Summary:

The 69348 zip code area is home to two schools, Hemingford Elementary School and Hemingford High School, both part of the Hemingford Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 110 out of 182 in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating, Hemingford High School stands out as the stronger performer of the two schools.

Hemingford High School has made significant improvements in recent years, jumping from a ranking of 164 out of 202 Nebraska high schools in 2021-2022 to an impressive 27 out of 215 in 2022-2023, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an 88.1% four-year graduation rate and its students outperform the state average on several key test metrics, including ACT English Language Arts, ACT Mathematics, and ACT Science. In contrast, Hemingford Elementary School, while performing well on some measures, has a fluctuating statewide ranking between 173 and 216 and a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%.

Both schools generally outperform the state average on standardized tests, with Hemingford High School particularly strong in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the district may want to investigate and address the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Hemingford High ($20,112) compared to Hemingford Elementary ($18,991) may be related to the high school's stronger performance, and the district should consider potential equity concerns raised by the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school.
