Summary

Gretna East High School is an alternative public high school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 747 students. It is part of the Gretna Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gretna East High School consistently outperforms the state and nearby Omaha Public Schools district schools across key metrics. The school has high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.9% to 100% over the past few years, significantly outperforming the state average of 42.74% in 2024-2025. Gretna East students also outperform the state and district averages in ACT proficiency across all subjects, with proficiency rates as high as 55.34% in English Language Arts, 66.03% in Math, and 76.34% in Science, compared to the state averages of 42.74%, 41.27%, and 47.59%, respectively.

In contrast, the nearby Westview High School and Buena Vista High School, both alternative schools in the lower-performing Omaha Public Schools district, have much lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The higher spending per student, lower chronic absenteeism, and more affluent student population at Gretna East High School may be contributing factors to the school's strong academic performance and high graduation rates, providing valuable insights for other districts and schools seeking to improve educational outcomes.
