Summary

Paddock Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Omaha, Nebraska, with 288 students. The school is part of the Westside Community Schools district, which is ranked 65 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paddock Road Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the Westside Community Schools district and the state of Nebraska. While the school has had some strong years, its performance has declined in recent years, with the school ranking in the bottom third of the state in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The school has performed well with its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top quarter of Nebraska elementary schools in this category in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. However, its performance with female and male students has been more inconsistent. Additionally, Paddock Road Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.5% in 2022-2023 to 19.3% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state's average.

Compared to other Westside Community Schools elementary schools in the area, Paddock Road's performance is mixed. While schools like Loveland Elementary and Prairie Lane Elementary have consistently ranked in the top 10-20% of Nebraska elementary schools, Paddock Road has struggled to maintain a top-half ranking. This may be related to the school's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (37.85% in 2023-2024) compared to higher-performing schools like Sunset Hills Elementary (14.19%) and Oakdale Elementary (19.48%), suggesting that Paddock Road may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population.
