Summary

Picotte Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 377. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Picotte Elementary consistently outperforms the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in standardized test scores, with a 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 68.75% in 2024-2025, compared to 40.69% for Omaha Public Schools and 57.45% for the state. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 40.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Picotte's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with White students and female students performing relatively well, while the school struggles with lower proficiency rates among male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Omaha Public Schools district, Picotte Elementary generally outperforms its peers in test scores and statewide rankings. However, it lags behind some high-performing schools in the Millard Public Schools and Elkhorn Public Schools districts, which are ranked much higher statewide. The school's fluctuating performance and equity challenges suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement and further investigation into the factors driving the school's outcomes.
