Druid Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Druid Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 279 students in grades PK-5 in Omaha, Nebraska, which is part of the Omaha Public Schools district.

Druid Hill Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nebraska, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the Omaha Public Schools and Nebraska state averages. The school has a very high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio higher than some nearby schools, such as Kennedy Elementary and Lothrop Magnet Center, Druid Hill Elementary has consistently struggled to improve its academic performance.

The challenges faced by Druid Hill Elementary appear to be part of a broader pattern of underperformance in the Omaha Public Schools district, with the school located in close proximity to several other low-performing elementary schools, such as Skinner Magnet Center, Central Park Elementary, and King Elementary. This suggests that addressing the root causes of the persistent low performance at Druid Hill Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational opportunities for all students in the district.

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.
