Forest Station Elementary School

Summary:

Forest Station Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bellevue, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 370 students. 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.

Forest Station Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student demographics, and overall school quality. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, Forest Station scored 27% proficient or better, compared to 42% for Omaha Public Schools and 63% for the state. Additionally, the school ranks in the bottom 25% of Nebraska elementary schools for several student subgroups, including male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and low socioeconomic status students. For the 2022-2023 school year, Forest Station Elementary ranked 430 out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The challenges faced by Forest Station Elementary may be systemic within the Omaha Public Schools district, as the nearby schools, such as Highland Elementary, Gomez Heritage Elementary, and Gilder Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state averages. The high percentage of Hispanic students and low-income students at Forest Station Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's academic underperformance, and the proximity to the poorly performing Spring Lake Magnet Center suggests a need for a more comprehensive approach to improving educational outcomes in this area.

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.
