Summary:
The 69360 zip code area is home to two schools - Gordon-Rushville Elementary School and Gordon-Rushville Middle School - both part of the Gordon-Rushville Public Schools district. While the elementary school shows some academic strengths, both schools face challenges with attendance and inconsistent test score performance.
Gordon-Rushville Elementary School stands out for its relatively strong 4th grade English Language Arts proficiency, with 73% of students performing at or above grade level, compared to the district average of 82.93% and the state average of 58.98%. However, the school struggles with 3rd grade math proficiency, which at 41% is lower than the district and state averages of 58%. In contrast, the middle school has more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above state averages in subjects like 8th grade science, while others fall below in ELA and math.
A concerning issue across both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly above the state average. This likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Additionally, the district as a whole is ranked 99 out of 182 in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting broader systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes across all schools in the district.
