Summary:
The 68105 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to 3 elementary schools: Field Club Elementary School, Jefferson Elementary School, and Jackson Elementary School. While the schools share some common challenges, Jefferson Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, outpacing the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in several academic measures.
The analysis reveals that the 3 schools generally underperform the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. However, Jefferson Elementary is a bright spot, ranking 365 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among the 3 schools. Additionally, Jackson Elementary outperformed the Omaha Public Schools district in 5th grade Science proficiency.
A concerning trend across all 3 schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is higher than the state average. This issue may be impacting student learning and achievement, and addressing attendance challenges could be a priority for these schools. Despite the overall underperformance, the similar spending per student across the 3 schools suggests a relatively equitable distribution of resources, indicating that additional targeted interventions or strategies may be needed to improve student outcomes in the 68105 zip code area.
