Ackerman Elementary School

Summary:

Ackerman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 483 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Millard Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 212 districts in Nebraska, Ackerman consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

Ackerman Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly higher than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, 85% of Ackerman's 5th-grade students achieved proficiency in ELA, compared to 74% for the Millard district and 56% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20% to 25% in recent years, which is lower than some nearby schools like Holling Heights Elementary (61%) and Bryan Elementary (57%).

Ackerman Elementary's student population is predominantly white, with around 77-78% of students identifying as white in recent years, which is higher than the racial diversity seen in some nearby schools, such as Holling Heights Elementary. This consistent high performance and relatively low percentage of students from low-income backgrounds suggest that Ackerman Elementary may provide valuable insights into the factors that contribute to student success, though the lack of racial diversity could also be an area for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
