Oak Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Omaha, Nebraska, with 256 students enrolled. It is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Valley Elementary has consistently struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 40.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also generally below the Omaha Public Schools and Nebraska state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.91% statewide. As a result, Oak Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

When comparing Oak Valley Elementary to nearby schools, such as Norris Elementary and Columbian Elementary, both in the Millard Public Schools district, it becomes clear that Oak Valley is an underperforming school, with significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings and ratings. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Oak Valley, ranging from $18,019 to $21,688 over the past few years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance, particularly for its female, male, and white student populations, is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
