Summary

Omaha Elementary School is a small, rural PK-6 school in Omaha, Arkansas, serving 247 students and serving as the sole elementary school within the Omaha School District.

This school presents a unique "V-shaped" performance pattern across grade levels that sets it apart from nearby schools. Third graders excel, significantly outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts (59.2% proficient vs. 42.9% state) and Math (51.8% vs. 45.5% state). However, performance drops dramatically in 4th and 5th grades, with 4th-grade Math being a critical concern at just 19.1% proficiency compared to the state average of 47%. Sixth graders then show a strong recovery, particularly in Math (53% vs. 45.1% state). This inconsistency is not seen in comparable schools like Bergman Elementary School or Alpena Elementary School, which show more consistent results across grade levels. Despite these challenges, Omaha Elementary is a relative bright spot within its district, outperforming the district average by 8.6 percentage points in ELA and 5.1 points in Science.

Compared to its nearest peer, Lead Hill Elementary School (just 16 miles away), Omaha Elementary achieves significantly higher literacy scores—15 percentage points higher in ELA and 13 points higher in Reading. The school also demonstrates resilience despite serving a high-needs population, with 78.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. It maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and spends $13,594 per student, investing in smaller class sizes. The key to future improvement lies in understanding and replicating the success of its 3rd and 6th-grade programs while providing intensive intervention for the 4th and 5th-grade cohorts, particularly in math and science.
