Skinner Magnet Center

Public Grades PK, KG-5
Summary

Skinner Magnet Center is an elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 435 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skinner Magnet Center stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (60.46%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 49.15% to 62.84%. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nebraska, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the Omaha Public Schools and Nebraska state averages. Additionally, Skinner Magnet Center has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.29% to 91.08% over the past three years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the high per-student spending at Skinner Magnet Center, ranging from $14,479 to $21,429 over the past four years, the school's academic performance remains low. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the students. The consistently low rankings and proficiency rates, coupled with the high concentration of African American and low-income students, indicate the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address these issues and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
