Kellom Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Kellom Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Omaha, Nebraska, with a student population of around 250. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 177 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellom Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with a ranking between 367-444 out of 428-488 schools over the past 10 years. The school has received 0-1 stars from SchoolDigger over the past decade, largely due to its very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.8% to 40.5% in recent years, and consistently low test scores, with only 41% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 19% of 4th graders and 17% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding math standards. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The struggles of Kellom Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools in the Omaha Public Schools district, such as Conestoga Magnet, Gifford Park, and Franklin Elementary, also face similar challenges with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach from the district to support schools like Kellom Elementary and improve educational outcomes for all students.
