Summary

Boyd Elementary School in Omaha, NE, serves 547 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Omaha Public Schools district, a large urban district that faces significant challenges. The school has seen a notable decline in its state ranking over the past decade, currently placing in the bottom 1% of Nebraska elementary schools. Key metrics show that Boyd's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.96%) and Math (28.09%) are the lowest among all nearby schools, including Adams Elementary School, which is less than a mile away and achieves nearly double those rates. Additionally, Boyd's chronic absenteeism rate of 28.4% is the highest in the area, significantly impacting student learning and academic momentum.

Despite these challenges, Boyd demonstrates a remarkable strength in serving its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 4-star rating. This success stands in stark contrast to the school's overall performance, suggesting that the school has a highly effective program or dedicated staff for ELL instruction that could be a model for broader improvement. Another bright spot is 5th-grade Science, where 68.42% of students were proficient in the 2023-2024 school year, nearly matching the district average. These pockets of excellence indicate that targeted strategies can yield positive results, even in a high-need environment.

Resource allocation is a critical concern, as Boyd's per-student spending of $16,601 is the lowest among all nearby schools. For comparison, Benson West Elementary School spends $26,813 per student and achieves far better academic outcomes. This disparity raises questions about whether Boyd has the funding necessary to address its high absenteeism and low test scores. For parents, the data suggests that while Boyd faces significant hurdles, the school's success with ELL students and in Science provides a foundation to build upon. Addressing chronic absenteeism and securing more resources will be key to reversing the school's declining trajectory.
