Summary:
The 68134 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Omaha Public Schools district. While the elementary schools in this area show a range of academic performance, the middle and high school stand out for their very low proficiency rates, with Northwest High School ranking in the bottom 5% of Nebraska high schools.
Among the elementary schools, Dodge Elementary and Edison Elementary are standouts, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. Masters Elementary also stands out for its exceptional 5th grade math and science proficiency rates. However, the data suggests potential equity concerns, as the schools with the lowest-performing students tend to have higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students.
The variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools, ranging from 13.5 at Masters Elementary to 19.5 at Northwest High School, may contribute to the differences in academic outcomes. The stronger performance of the elementary schools highlights the potential impact of early intervention and support, suggesting that ensuring students have a strong foundation in the early grades may be key to improving outcomes at the secondary level.
