Summary:
The 68164 zip code area in Omaha, Nebraska is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Omaha Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is struggling, with a low ranking and rating, some individual schools in this area are performing better than the district and state averages.
Fullerton Magnet Center stands out as an exceptional elementary school, consistently achieving higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. In contrast, Sunny Slope Elementary and Joslyn Elementary have the lowest test scores among the schools in the area. The Alice Buffett Magnet Middle School also outperforms the Omaha Public Schools district in most subject areas, despite still falling below state averages.
A concerning trend across all schools in the 68164 zip code is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which stands at 19.3% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This issue may be contributing to the lower test scores observed in the area. Additionally, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic factors that could be impacting school performance.
