Summary:

The 68131 zip code area of Omaha, Nebraska is home to three elementary schools: Walnut Hill Elementary School, Gifford Park Elementary School, and Omaha Public Schools Homebased. These schools are part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Based on the available data, Gifford Park Elementary School appears to be the standout school in this set. Gifford Park consistently outperforms Walnut Hill Elementary and the district/state averages in academic measures such as English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as Science proficiency. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, Gifford Park had a 51.06% proficiency rate, compared to 25% at Walnut Hill and 39.76% for the district.

However, both Walnut Hill Elementary and Gifford Park Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.3%, which is a concern and may be an area for the district to address. Additionally, the overall low ranking and 0-star rating of the Omaha Public Schools district suggests that the district as a whole may be facing significant challenges that are impacting the performance of its individual schools.
