Pinewood Elementary School

Summary:

Pinewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 221 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in Nebraska, Pinewood has a diverse student population with a higher percentage of Asian and African American students compared to nearby schools.

Despite its diverse student body and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, Pinewood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the Omaha Public Schools district average, and its ranking for low socioeconomic status students is higher than its overall ranking, indicating that Pinewood may be providing a relatively stronger educational experience for its students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Pinewood's performance is better than some of the nearby schools, such as Fontenelle Elementary, Central Park Elementary, and Belvedere Elementary, which all have lower test scores and lower overall rankings. This suggests that Pinewood may be a better option for parents in the area, despite the school's challenges and its overall low ranking within the state.

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.

Have great teachers who fight a up hill battle to try to reach all of these kids. They do a great job on the ones that try. They do not give up on the ones that do not respond to their great efforts. Some kids are afraid to try to grab the Brass Ring.. Close Quote

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.
