Best Public Schools in Zip Code 68354

Summary:

The 68354 zip code has only one school, Fillmore Central Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Fillmore Central Public Schools district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 57th out of 238 Nebraska middle schools in 2022-2023 and as low as 131st out of 249 in 2021-2022, its academic results are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages.

Fillmore Central Middle School's strengths include strong 8th-grade science proficiency at 89.58%, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is more mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 43.12%, which can present unique challenges and impact academic outcomes.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,696 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.3, the impact of this funding on student outcomes is not entirely clear. The fluctuating statewide ranking and the school's mixed academic performance suggest that further investigation into the school's specific strategies, programs, and resource allocation could provide additional insights into the factors driving its performance.
