Neihardt Elementary School

Summary:

Neihardt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 549 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Millard Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 182 districts in the state.

While Neihardt Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, its student performance, as measured by proficiency rates on NSCAS tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (55.88%) and Mathematics (52.94%) were significantly below the Millard Public Schools district averages (76.9% and 74.9%, respectively) and the Nebraska state averages (58.91% and 60.65%). However, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in Science (93.06%) were higher than both the district (92.59%) and state (82.59%) averages. Neihardt Elementary School has also shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Willowdale Elementary, Upchurch Elementary, and Wheeler Elementary, all part of the Millard Public Schools district, Neihardt Elementary School's performance is generally lower. The school has also experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 13.8% in 2020-2021 to 21.1% in 2023-2024. To improve overall performance, the school and district may need to closely examine the factors contributing to the academic gaps and implement targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies.

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.

Open Quote You don't realize how great of school Neihardt is - until you leave. We moved away for one year and realized it was a mistake. So, we purchased a new home back in the Neihardt/Millard district. The staff truly cares about the well-being of the students. Close Quote

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.
