Summary:
The Omaha School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Omaha Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school is not considered a standout performer in the state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it provides insights into the academic and demographic challenges faced by schools in this area.
Omaha Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science generally below the state averages, though there are some exceptions in specific grade levels. Compared to the district as a whole, the school's performance is also varied, with some grades performing better and others performing worse. This inconsistent academic performance suggests the school may need to address specific areas of weakness to improve overall student achievement.
The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (76.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $11,794 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, the academic performance data suggests these resources may not be translating into consistent improvements in student outcomes. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the unique challenges faced by Omaha Elementary School and other schools in the Omaha School District.
