Summary:
The 68104 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Omaha Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is struggling, with a 0-star rating, the schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standouts and others facing significant challenges.
Rose Hill Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 60-70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Benson West Elementary School has shown improvement, moving from a 0-star to a 1-star rating, with particularly strong 4th-grade test scores. However, the majority of schools in the area lag behind state averages, with most scoring 20-40 percentage points below the Nebraska average on ELA and Math assessments.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across all schools in the 68104 zip code, ranging from 19.3% to 26.3%, well above the state average. Graduation rates at Benson High School are also below the state average at 87.9%. The wide disparities in per-student spending, from $16,881 at Hartman Elementary to $43,278 at Benson West Elementary, suggest that resource allocation may be an important factor in the schools' performance.
