Catlin Magnet Center

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Catlin Magnet Center is an elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 130 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in the state, Catlin Magnet Center has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, Catlin Magnet Center stands out in several key areas. The school's test scores are generally higher than the Omaha Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages, particularly in English Language Arts, with 60% of 3rd graders and 65% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the district's 39.76% and 40.77%, respectively. In mathematics, Catlin Magnet Center also outperformed the district, with 50% of 3rd graders and 65% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 38.29% and 35.48% for the district. Additionally, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively strong, ranking in the top 109 out of 298 Nebraska elementary schools in 2018-2019.

Despite these academic strengths, Catlin Magnet Center faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.15% to 56.83% over the past three school years. While Catlin Magnet Center outperforms some nearby Omaha Public Schools schools, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the Millard Public Schools district, such as Columbian Elementary, Willa Cather Elementary, and Harvey Oaks Elementary.
