Summary

Pinewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 266 students in grades PK-5. Despite facing challenges common to schools with high percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Pinewood stands out for its relatively strong academic performance compared to other schools in the Omaha Public Schools district.

Pinewood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 60% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 40.69% for the Omaha district and 57.45% for the state. This is particularly noteworthy given the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.43% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2021-2022 school year. Pinewood's academic performance is generally better than nearby schools like Fontenelle Elementary, Central Park Elementary, and Belvedere Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, Pinewood Elementary faces its own challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.0% to 40.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's resources and small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.4 to 16.0, suggest a commitment to supporting student learning, but addressing the chronic absenteeism issue could be a key focus area for improvement. Despite these challenges, Pinewood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, with its ranking improving in recent years to 257 out of 457 schools in the 2021-2022 school year.

Have great teachers who fight a up hill battle to try to reach all of these kids. They do a great job on the ones that try. They do not give up on the ones that do not respond to their great efforts. Some kids are afraid to try to grab the Brass Ring.. Close Quote
