Summary:

Conestoga Magnet Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 334 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in the state.

Despite receiving relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,423 to $18,443 over the past four years, Kellom Elementary, Lothrop Magnet Center, and Kennedy Elementary all struggle with low academic performance, with Conestoga Magnet Elementary consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nebraska over the past decade. In 2022-2023, only 13% of 5th-grade students at Conestoga Magnet Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38% for the Omaha Public Schools district and 56% for the state of Nebraska.

The school's student population is predominantly African American, ranging from 63-67% over the past three school years, and 89.7-94.2% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These racial and socioeconomic disparities likely contribute to the school's persistent academic challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
