Westbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Westbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Omaha, Nebraska, with 547 students. It is part of the Westside Community Schools district, which is ranked 60 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Westbrook Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 343 out of 428 schools.

Westbrook Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.7% to 21.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also lags behind the district and state averages in proficiency rates for NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 65.93% and 61.32% for the district, respectively. Additionally, Westbrook Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.89% to 65.03% in recent years, indicating a student population with a high socioeconomic need.

While Westbrook Elementary outperforms the nearby Omaha Public Schools elementary schools on state assessments, it lags behind other Westside Community Schools in the district, such as Loveland Elementary and Carl A. Swanson Elementary, which consistently outperform Westbrook on state assessments and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. Addressing the key issues at Westbrook Elementary, such as high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, will be crucial for improving the overall outcomes of the school.

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.
