Frequently asked questions
What is the best public school in Omaha Public Schools?
Columbian Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska ranks first among traditional public schools in Omaha Public Schools with a Success Index (US) of 89.7 out of 100 (Enrollment: 249).
How are traditional public schools in Omaha Public Schools ranked?
Each school's Success Index (US) combines 4 factors: math proficiency (30%), reading proficiency (30%), community advantage (fewer free/reduced-price lunch) (25%), students per teacher (15%).

Are these 2025 rankings official?
