Summary

Neihardt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 498 students. The school is part of the Millard Public Schools district, which is ranked 37 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neihardt Elementary has shown a mixed performance on state assessments (NSCAS) in recent years. While the school's 5th grade Math and Science proficiency rates have been strong, its 3rd grade ELA and Math proficiency rates have been significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students and students with low socioeconomic status, has been relatively stronger than its overall academic performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been increasing and is higher than the district and state averages, which could be impacting student learning and achievement.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Willowdale Elementary, Upchurch Elementary, and Wheeler Elementary, Neihardt Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in ELA and Math. This may be due in part to Neihardt serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic outcomes. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial for Neihardt Elementary to improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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
