High Schools in Omaha Public Schools


Summary:

The Omaha Public Schools district in Nebraska operates 7 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. These schools face significant challenges, with most ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools and performing well below state averages on standardized tests. However, a few schools stand out as relatively higher-performing within the district.

Central High School is the highest-ranked school in the data set, coming in at 184th out of 215 Nebraska high schools. It has the strongest academic performance, with the highest percentages of students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Burke High School is the second-highest ranked, at 170th, and also has relatively strong test scores compared to the other Omaha schools.

The remaining schools in the Omaha Public Schools district face significant challenges, with low statewide rankings, high free/reduced lunch rates, and relatively high student-teacher ratios. While the schools have diverse student populations, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the district and the state as a whole. Identifying and replicating the practices of the higher-performing schools like Central and Burke could be a valuable strategy for the district to improve outcomes for all students.
