Summary

Dodge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 423 students in grades PK-5 in Omaha, Nebraska, which is part of the Omaha Public Schools district. Despite being part of a larger district, Dodge Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 273 out of 274 schools.

Dodge Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores, and achievement gaps among its student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.9% of 3rd graders and 36.84% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 57.45% and 55.79% statewide. While Dodge Elementary struggles, some nearby Omaha Public Schools, such as Adams Elementary and Edison Elementary, perform significantly better on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.

Addressing the challenges at Dodge Elementary will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and potential learning from higher-performing schools within the Omaha Public Schools district. Improving the educational outcomes at Dodge Elementary should be a priority for the district, as the school's declining performance over the past decade suggests a concerning trend that needs to be addressed.
