Omaha Public Schools


Summary:

The Omaha Public Schools district encompasses 84 schools, including 65 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, and 7 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic outcomes across the district.

Several schools stand out as exceptional, including Standing Bear Elementary School, Saddlebrook Elementary School, and Picotte Elementary School, which consistently rank among the top schools in the state. These high-performing schools demonstrate that with strong leadership, positive school culture, and effective instructional practices, students can achieve exceptional academic outcomes, even in the face of challenges.

On the other hand, the district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates on state assessments, high chronic absenteeism, and significant funding disparities between schools. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support systems are needed to address these systemic issues and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the Omaha Public Schools district.
