Summary

Saddlebrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 456 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Omaha Public Schools district. The school has a strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in science and for certain student subgroups.

Saddlebrook Elementary's 3rd-grade students scored 72.97% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.69% for Omaha Public Schools and 57.45% for the state. The school's 5th-grade students also excelled in science, with 91.55% scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (69.82%) and state (83.38%) averages. The school's female, male, and African American student subgroups have all performed exceptionally well, often ranking in the top 50-75 Nebraska elementary schools. However, the school's special education student subgroup has struggled, ranking 45th out of 57 Nebraska elementary schools in 2022-2023.

While Saddlebrook Elementary outperforms nearby Picotte Elementary and Fullerton Magnet Center schools, it lags behind the higher-ranked Bennington Public Schools and Elkhorn Public Schools districts, which have several elementary schools that significantly outperform Saddlebrook in academic achievement. This suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, especially in addressing the needs of the school's special education students.
