Boyd Elementary School

Summary:

Boyd Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 555 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in the state.

Over the past 10 years, Boyd Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, with a ranking between 347 and 419 out of 450-488 schools. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 40.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Boyd Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages.

When comparing Boyd Elementary to nearby schools within the Omaha Public Schools district, such as Edison Elementary and Benson West Elementary, it is clear that Boyd is one of the lower-performing schools. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's performance for specific student subgroups suggest that factors such as socioeconomic status, English language proficiency, and special education needs may be contributing to the school's overall low performance.

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.
