Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 68152 zip code - Nathan Hale Magnet Middle School, which is part of the Omaha Public Schools district. The data suggests that this school is a struggling performer, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of Nebraska middle schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nathan Hale Magnet Middle School has significantly lower academic achievement compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were all below 35%, well below the state averages. The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate was also below the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in the 2024-2025 school year is concerning and can negatively impact student learning.

Despite relatively high spending per student of $18,438 in the 2023-2024 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 19.3, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that the school may need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's low performance, such as chronic absenteeism, should be a priority for the school and district.
