Hitchcock Elementary School

Norris is an amazing elementary school. I have three special needs children and we have been to several Millard schools. Overall Norris and its staff have always gone above and beyond to support my children and to support the families of children like mine. The staff is supportive, they have a lot of supports in place for my neurodivergent kiddos and continue to work on and develop supports. Many other peers of my children are disadvantaged and Norris does a great job at helping kiddos succeed in school despite struggling economically or with disabilities. As all schools do, there is teasing and bullying that occurs but Norris did an amazing job with supporting students who are being bullied. The staff are always open to suggestions. The entire school is full of educators who love what they do and genuinely care for their students. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend Norris elementary. It is located in an area that is more diverse than other areas of millard and not as affluent, but I think this gives them an advantage because despite being in a “lower income” area then many other millard schools with higher ratings, the school works hard to provide ALL of their students with a quality education without leaving other students behind due to income, race, or disability.

Great small school! Feels like my kids attend a private school!

I have two children who go to Disney Elementary and we actually choose them via open enrollment. From the teachers to the staff to the principal - they are all wonderful. All the teachers my children have had have done a wonderful job of keeping them engaged and challenged. They utilize parent volunteers which is wonderful. They are often doing little events after school that the children love. The school is in great shape and looks great. There is a little turtle pond in the front. The front office is filled with friendly women who are always pleasant and helpful. We have always gotten prompt phone calls if there is an issue. I love that there is a salad bar in addition to the lunch line. In the morning, a few teachers and the principal stand outside until the bell rings. Disney has a wonderful program called the "Watch Dogs". All in all, it is a wonderful school filled with fantastic teachers. I am very happy we choose Disney Elementary.

I have 3 children who have attended this school. I have been impressed with the school’s recent push to draw more attention to student success. One of their new 1st grade teachers is hands-down the best educator I’ve ever met. Most teachers will make sure to challenge and push students to their fullest potential. The school counselor and psychologist are great. The principal is welcoming. The nurse’s aid sometimes comes off as harsh on the phone, but I think she has student’s best interests at heart. The school secretary is a sweetheart— I feel like she knows my kids even through they don’t cross paths very often. The PE program is great, and I like the 6th grade band as well. We have not had issues with bullying at this school. Kids generally seem to like each other and support one another. My kids are all scoring above average on their state standardized tests, and they look forward to going to school—for those reasons, I feel confident about the quality of education they are receiving. I have a complaint about how “gifted” students are chosen, but that’s ultimately something that needs to be handled at a district level, not something the school can change on their own. While my kids haven’t qualified for the HAL program, two of them have gotten pulled out to work on areas that they excel in with other teachers at times, which I truly appreciate.

this school was the WORST SCHOOL IVE EVR GONE TO IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!! I GOT BULLIED DAY IN AND DAY OUT, HAD A HORRIBLE TEACHER AND NOBODY EVEN NOTICED!!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHHILD HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blumfield Elementary School is the best school in the Omaha that I would recommend to all the parents in the vicinity.They focus on communication, comprehension, socialism, development that helped my kid to grow.Their fun and learn, joyous teacher and support staff is a big A+.
