Summary:
The 68132 zip code area in Omaha, Nebraska is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Dundee Elementary and Harrison Elementary) and one middle school (Lewis & Clark Middle School). While the elementary schools demonstrate strong academic performance, the middle school faces challenges in student achievement.
Dundee Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 105 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves high test scores, with 70-80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-6. Harrison Elementary also performs well, ranking 142 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. Both elementary schools demonstrate impressive test scores, with 67-84% of students proficient or better in core subjects.
In contrast, Lewis & Clark Middle School faces academic challenges, with significantly lower test scores compared to the elementary schools. For example, in 6th grade English Language Arts, Dundee and Harrison had 63.51% and 69.7% proficiency, respectively, while Lewis & Clark had only 30.61% proficiency. This performance gap between the elementary and middle school levels suggests a need for targeted interventions to address the academic struggles at the middle school. Additionally, all three schools in the 68132 zip code area have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the middle school level.
