Gilder Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Ashland Park/Robbins Elementary, Forest Station Elementary, and Spring Lake Magnet Center within the Omaha Public Schools district, as well as G. Stanley Hall Elementary in the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district. Despite increased spending per student, Gilder Elementary has struggled to improve its academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues.
