Mc Millan Magnet Middle School

Summary:

Mc Millan Magnet Middle School is a public middle school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 751 students in grades 6-8. Despite being a magnet school, it consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages, ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in Nebraska.

Mc Millan Magnet Middle School's academic performance is significantly below state and district levels, with only 22-29% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16-22% proficient in Math, compared to 55-62% and 57-66% at the state level, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of all middle schools in Nebraska for several years, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, perform particularly poorly at Mc Millan, highlighting persistent educational inequities within the Omaha Public Schools district.

Despite Mc Millan's high per-student spending of $19,546, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Norris Middle School ($16,684) and Lewis & Clark Middle School ($17,294), the school's performance does not reflect this investment. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving Mc Millan's outcomes, and that other factors, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in driving student achievement.

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.
