Summary

Carriage Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Papillion, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district, which is ranked 66 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carriage Hill Elementary's academic performance, as measured by NSCAS test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 62.07%, compared to 65.27% for the district and 57.45% for the state. However, the school's 4th grade math proficiency rate was higher than the district and state at 75%. Carriage Hill has also experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 19.3% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district's 13.7% rate.

Compared to nearby schools like Rumsey Station Elementary, Patriot Elementary, and Walnut Creek Elementary, which are also part of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district, Carriage Hill's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools tend to have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. While Carriage Hill's per-student spending has increased, and its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address its academic and attendance challenges.
