Summary

Norman Rockwell Elementary School in Omaha, NE, is a mid-sized school serving 310 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Millard Public Schools district, and it stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs and those from low-income backgrounds, despite a modest overall state ranking.

This school is a true standout for its work with specific student groups. For example, its special education students have ranked in the top 16% of the state, and students from low-income families have consistently ranked in the top 20%—a remarkable achievement. This success is likely fueled by a high per-student spending of $19,664 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, which are both significantly better than nearby top-performing schools like Willowdale Elementary School ($11,719 per student, 16.6:1 ratio) and Black Elk Elementary School ($10,791 per student, 18.3:1 ratio). The school has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism from a post-pandemic high of 22.2% to just 11.1% in 2024-2025, which is well below the district average of 15.5% and a strong sign of a positive school climate.

However, there are clear areas for growth. While English Language Arts proficiency (66.39%) is above the state average, math proficiency (54.1%) lags significantly behind both the district (70.79%) and state (58.07%) averages, creating a "math gap" compared to peers like Ackerman Elementary School (72.13% math proficiency). The school’s overall rank has fluctuated, dropping from a recent peak of the 58th percentile to the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025, but the strong foundational practices with vulnerable students and improving attendance suggest a positive trajectory. For parents, this school offers a deeply supportive environment for children who need extra help, but may require additional focus on math instruction for all students.
