Summary
Oak Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Omaha, Nebraska, with 256 students enrolled. It is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Oak Valley Elementary has consistently struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 40.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also generally below the Omaha Public Schools and Nebraska state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.91% statewide. As a result, Oak Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.
When comparing Oak Valley Elementary to nearby schools, such as Norris Elementary and Columbian Elementary, both in the Millard Public Schools district, it becomes clear that Oak Valley is an underperforming school, with significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings and ratings. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Oak Valley, ranging from $18,019 to $21,688 over the past few years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance, particularly for its female, male, and white student populations, is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
