Paddock Road Elementary School

Summary:

Paddock Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Westside Community Schools district in Omaha, Nebraska, with 287 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1. While the school has maintained relatively strong test scores, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 60th out of 480 Nebraska elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 177th out of 459 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.

Paddock Road Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of non-white students and a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 38.33% in 2022-2023. This socioeconomic diversity could be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance compared to higher-income schools in the district, such as Loveland Elementary, Prairie Lane Elementary, and Sunset Hills Elementary, which consistently outperform Paddock Road on test scores and statewide rankings.

While Paddock Road's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the state average, the school's lower performance in certain grade levels and subject areas, such as 4th grade Mathematics and 6th grade English Language Arts, could be areas to focus on for targeted interventions and support. By learning from the best practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools, Paddock Road Elementary may be able to improve its overall performance and statewide ranking in the future.

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.
