Kellom Elementary School

Summary:

Kellom Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 272 students in grades PK-6. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American and Asian students compared to the state average, and over 90% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Kellom Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Nebraska elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state and Omaha Public Schools district averages. This is despite the school having a relatively high per-student spending of around $20,000, which is significantly higher than the state average. Nearby schools, such as Conestoga Magnet Elementary, Gifford Park Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, all have higher academic proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students at Kellom Elementary presents an opportunity to explore targeted interventions and support programs that can address the unique needs of this population and help improve academic outcomes. However, the school's challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to its 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.
