Belvedere Elementary School

Summary:

Belvedere Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with 366 students. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Belvedere Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belvedere Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15% of 3rd graders and 23% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 58.91% and 57.43% statewide, respectively. The nearby elementary schools in the Omaha Public Schools district, such as Sherman, Fontenelle, Central Park, Miller Park, Wakonda, Minne Lusa, Florence, and Druid Hill, all perform significantly better than Belvedere Elementary on these key metrics.

Belvedere Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nebraska for over a decade, with no significant improvement in its rankings or academic outcomes during this time. This indicates a need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address the school's challenges. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,137 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of those resources to address the school's specific needs.

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.
