Summary

Norman Rockwell Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 311 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Millard Public Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 182 districts in the state.

Academically, Norman Rockwell Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to the district and state. While the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was higher than the district and state, its overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math have generally lagged behind. However, the school has excelled in serving its special education and low-income student populations, ranking in the top 10% and 20% of Nebraska elementary schools in these subgroups, respectively. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8 suggest a focus on supporting student learning, but the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.4% to 21.5%, are a concern that may be impacting academic performance.

When compared to nearby top-performing schools in the Millard district, such as Ackerman Elementary, Willowdale Elementary, and Willa Cather Elementary, Norman Rockwell generally lags behind in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. This may be partly due to the school's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 47.59%, compared to the nearby higher-performing schools.
