Omaha Elementary School

Summary:

Omaha Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 226 students in grades K-6 in Omaha, Arkansas, which is part of the Omaha School District. The school generally outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades. However, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools in the Harrison School District, such as Forest Heights Elementary and Skyline Heights Elementary.

Omaha Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, but it also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 76.55% to 80.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. This high poverty rate may present unique challenges for the school and its students. Despite these challenges, Omaha Elementary School's performance has been relatively consistent over the past several years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the 120th and 256th position among Arkansas elementary schools.

In comparison to the nearby Lead Hill Elementary School, Omaha Elementary School generally outperforms in test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, it still lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Harrison School District, indicating that there is room for improvement at Omaha Elementary School.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
