Summary

Sunny Slope Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with 424 students. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunny Slope Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Sunny Slope Elementary School with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.3% to 40.5% in recent years, and students consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 47.44% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 57.45% statewide, and only 42.31% were proficient in Math, compared to 60.26% statewide.

When compared to other Omaha Public Schools in the vicinity, such as Adams Elementary School, Westbrook Elementary School, and Boyd Elementary School, Sunny Slope generally performs worse on academic metrics, has higher chronic absenteeism, and spends less per student. Addressing the underlying issues of high chronic absenteeism, low socioeconomic status of many students, and lower per-student spending will be crucial for Sunny Slope to improve and better serve its students.
