Summary:
The 68110 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to three elementary schools: Lothrop Magnet Center, Conestoga Magnet Elementary School, and Sherman Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Omaha Public Schools district.
Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in this set. All three schools have relatively low statewide rankings, with Lothrop Magnet Center ranking 379th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools, Conestoga Magnet Elementary School ranking 458th out of 459, and Sherman Elementary School ranking 424th out of 428 for the 2023-2024 school year. The schools generally perform below the Omaha Public Schools district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3-5, with the exception of Lothrop Magnet Center's high 5th-grade Science proficiency at 77%.
All three schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.3% for the 2024-2025 school year. The data also suggests that these schools serve predominantly low-income and underserved student populations, as evidenced by the likely high free/reduced lunch rates. While the schools have relatively high spending per student, ranging from $18,621 at Lothrop Magnet Center to $20,497 at Conestoga Magnet Elementary School, the focus should be on how resources are being utilized and allocated to improve student outcomes.
