Summary

Conestoga Magnet Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 334 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in the state.

Despite receiving relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,423 to $18,443 over the past four years, Kellom Elementary, Lothrop Magnet Center, and Kennedy Elementary all struggle with low academic performance, with Conestoga Magnet Elementary consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nebraska over the past decade. In 2022-2023, only 13% of 5th-grade students at Conestoga Magnet Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38% for the Omaha Public Schools district and 56% for the state of Nebraska.

The school's student population is predominantly African American, ranging from 63-67% over the past three school years, and 89.7-94.2% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These racial and socioeconomic disparities likely contribute to the school's persistent academic challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
