Summary

Sandoz Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 338 students. It is part of the Millard Public Schools district, which is ranked 37 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sandoz Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with its 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates above the state average, but its 5th-grade ELA proficiency below the district and state averages. In mathematics, Sandoz's 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates are below the district and state, while its 5th-grade proficiency is closer to the state average. The school's Hispanic students have performed very well, ranking in the top 6 out of 68 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021, but its female and male students have generally ranked in the middle to lower range compared to other Nebraska elementary schools. Sandoz also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.4% to 21.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Sandoz's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Hitchcock Elementary School, which has consistently ranked among the top 5-7 elementary schools in Nebraska. However, Sandoz's performance is generally better than the nearby Blumfield Elementary School, which is part of the Ralston Public Schools district and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools. Sandoz's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 45.22% to 48.82% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, and the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest it is allocating resources to support these students.
