Summary

King Science/Technical Magnet Middle School is a public middle school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 622 students in grades 6-8. Despite being a magnet school, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 117 out of 123 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 43.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like R.M. Marrs Magnet Middle School (19.3%) and Morton Magnet Middle School (19.3%). Academically, King Science/Technical Magnet Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and Omaha Public Schools district averages on the NSCAS tests, with only 35.64% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 58.64%.

Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $14,950 to $20,700 over the past few years, the school has not shown any significant improvement in its performance or ranking over time. The nearby magnet schools, such as R.M. Marrs Magnet Middle School, Morton Magnet Middle School, and McMillan Magnet Middle School, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by King Science/Technical Magnet Middle School may be systemic within the Omaha Public Schools district.
