Summary:

Florence Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 251. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Florence Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White (39.84%) and Hispanic (17.53%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in NSCAS assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance in 5th grade science is higher than the district and state averages. Florence Elementary has a high percentage of students (over 84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the nearby schools like Springville Elementary and Ponca Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Over the past several years, Florence Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 281 out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 374 out of 459 in 2022-2023. The school's performance is lower for male students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to female students and White students. Despite these challenges, Florence Elementary has the highest spending per student ($18,616) among the nearby schools, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for its students.

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.
