Summary

Westbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 549 students in grades PK-6 in Omaha, Nebraska, which is part of the Westside Community Schools district. Despite consistent funding, Westbrook Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to its district and state peers, ranking in the bottom half of Westbrook Elementary schools in Nebraska over the past decade.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 42.86% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 65.43% for the district and 57.45% statewide. Additionally, Westbrook Elementary has struggled to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools for female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 21.1% over the past few years, are also significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Loveland Elementary and Carl A. Swanson Elementary, which are also part of the Westside Community Schools district, rank in the top 50 Nebraska elementary schools and have much higher academic proficiency rates. Despite the higher spending per student at Westbrook Elementary, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its state ranking or academic performance over the past decade.
