Masters Elementary School

Summary:

Masters Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 275 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Masters Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 23% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 63% statewide and 42% in the Omaha Public Schools district. The school's diverse student population, with 30.18% African American and 18.18% Hispanic students, and high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (62.8% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to these academic challenges.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,946 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state and district averages, the academic performance has remained consistently low. When compared to nearby schools within the Omaha Public Schools district, such as Hartman Elementary and Edison Elementary, Masters Elementary School generally performs worse academically, despite having a similar student demographic profile. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area and explore ways to improve instructional practices, teacher quality, and targeted interventions for struggling 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.
