Lothrop Magnet Center

Summary:

Lothrop Magnet Center is an elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 349 students in grades PK-4. 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.

Lothrop Magnet Center stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American (50.14%) and Hispanic (28.37%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NSCAS tests, is consistently below the state and district averages. In 2022-2023, only 39% of 3rd-grade students and 26% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 63% and 55%, respectively. Additionally, Lothrop Magnet Center has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Lothrop Magnet Center's performance is low, its African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively better compared to their peers in the state. However, the nearby schools, such as Kennedy Elementary School, Druid Hill Elementary School, and Conestoga Magnet Elementary School, also struggle with low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lothrop Magnet Center are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic issues within the Omaha Public Schools district.

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.
