Summary:
The 68110 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While a few schools stand out, the overall academic performance in this area is concerning, with significant gaps compared to district and state averages.
Lothrop Magnet Center is the top performer, with 77% of 5th graders proficient or better in NSCAS Science, outpacing the Omaha Public Schools district average of 68.68% and the Nebraska state average of 82.59%. Sherman Elementary School also has some bright spots, including 51% of 5th graders proficient or better in NSCAS Science. However, the other schools in the data set, including King Science/Technical Magnet Middle School and Conestoga Magnet Elementary School, have lower test scores and rankings compared to district and state averages.
Across the board, these schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, above-average per-student spending with poor academic outcomes, and stark performance gaps compared to their peers. The data suggests the magnet school model may not be effectively serving students in this area, and targeted interventions are needed to drive meaningful improvements in student learning and achievement.
