National School Choice Week Team

Last Upated:
September 19, 2022

Choosing a school? You’ve got options. 

Each spring, parents face one of the biggest decisions they can make for their child’s future: What school environment will their child spend about 1,000 hours in next year? 

Making that decision with confidence starts with knowing what options you have; you may have more school choices than you realize! Understanding these options can help you find a school where your child grows and learns to the best of their ability. Nebraska families can choose from traditional public schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online schools, homeschooling. and learning pods.

Looking for special education options? You can learn what special education services are available in Nebraska at the Ultimate Guide to Special Education.

Nebraska Traditional Public Schools

Most children in Nebraska attend traditional public schools. Traditional public schools are free to attend, open to all students, operated by school districts, and funded by taxpayers like you. Each year, Nebraska spends an average of $12,939 per public school student. You can search your school’s spending and that of nearby schools at Project Nickel.

Nebraska has flexible open enrollment for public schools. What this means is that you are likely able to send your child to any public school of choice in Nebraska, regardless of where you live or where the school is located. You can take advantage of this option by visiting multiple public schools near you and discovering which is the best fit for your family. You can also read the Nebraska Department of Education’s answers to frequently asked questions about switching school districts in your state.

When a student uses open enrollment in Nebraska, transportation is typically the responsibility of the parents or provided by the receiving district for a fee, unless the student is eligible for free or reduced price lunch, part of a diversity focus program, or a student with learning disabilities, in which case transportation is typically free.

Find out more about public schools in your state at the Nebraska Department of Education.

Nebraska Charter Schools

Nebraska currently does not have any public charter schools, but charters may be in Nebraska’s future! Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are allowed extra freedom to innovate while being held accountable for student achievement. Nebraska is one of only five states that has not passed laws allowing for the creation of public charter schools. 

Nebraska Magnet Schools

Magnet schools are free public schools that allow kids to narrow in on a specific learning track, such as engineering or the performing arts. At a magnet school, all the subjects are taught through the lenses of that specific track. Nebraska has a handful of magnet schools scattered throughout the state, and these might be a good option if your child learns best by focusing in on a subject they are passionate about. For instance, Omaha Public Schools has both elementary school magnet programs (like Conestoga Elementary School) and high school magnet programs (like Benson Magnet High School).  

Nebraska Private Schools

Families in Nebraska can also consider private schools, nonpublic schools that charge tuition. Private schools may offer a unique curriculum, smaller class sizes, or a faith-based tradition. Nebraska’s more than 220 private schools come in all shapes and forms, from religious schools to schools designed for children with special needs. 

The average tuition for private schools in the state is $3,633 for elementary schools and $7,856 for high schools. Unfortunately, there are no state-run scholarship options in Nebraska at present, but private scholarships may be available. The federal government does allow parents in all 50 states to save for K-12 private school tuition using tax-preferred 529 savings accounts.

Learn more at Children’s Scholarship Fund-Omaha and Private School Review: Nebraska.

Nebraska Online Learning

Whether your child wants to accelerate his or her learning or needs a quieter environment in which to focus, you may be interested in giving virtual school a try. 

While the majority of states have free, public online programs available to families statewide, Nebraska does not currently have that option. Families can choose a paid option: University of Nebraska High School Online. Other paid options, like George Washington University Online High School, The Keystone School, Excel High School, and K12 Private Academy, are available to Nebraska families but are not state-specific. Families interested in enrolling at University of Nebraska High School Online can do so at any point during the year; there is no deadline for enrollment. The school does not supply families with technology or wifi. 

Additionally, some districts are developing their own online programs for students. Lincoln Consolidated Schools students can choose the fully online LCS Virtual Academy. Omaha Public Schools offers local students Omaha Virtual School, a blended learning program that incorporates both in-person sessions and at-home online classes. 

To read more about online learning in Nebraska, check out the Digital Learning Collaborative’s state profile.

Nebraska Homeschooling

Nebraska families can also choose to homeschool their children, which allows for a highly customizable and personalized learning experience. Homeschooling is the process of parents educating students at home and is permitted in all 50 states.

In Nebraska, the state requires notice of your intent to homeschool by July 15 or promptly upon choosing to homeschool. The state also requires an annual information survey and parent representative form.  It is recommended that you formally withdraw from your public school so your student is not marked truant.

If you choose homeschooling, you’re required to teach specific subjects (including language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and health), but specific standardized tests are not required. If you choose to enroll your child part-time at the local public school, your child may be eligible to participate in sports and other activities.

In the case that you decide to return to public school during the school year, you must notify the Nebraska Department of Education in writing.

To learn more, check out a roundup of homeschooling resources specific to Nebraska. 

Nebraska Learning Pods

Micro-schools, pods, pandemic pods, and learning pods all refer to the same concept: students gathering together in a small group – with adult supervision – to learn, explore, and socialize.  Pods themselves can take a variety of legal forms, but in general they can be separated into two categories: self-directed pod (homeschool, homeschool collaborative, or micro-school) and learning support pod. It’s important to understand what kind of pod you are signing up for and the requirements that go along with it.  Learn more about learning pods.

Self-Directed Pods:

If your learning pod or micro-school is choosing its own curriculum and each family is directing their own children’s schooling, it likely qualifies as a homeschool in Nebraska. Read more about the requirements for homeschooling and get tips from HSLDA. 

In Nebraska, homeschooled families who come together to learn, such as in a microschool, are classified by the Nebraska Department of Education as a “multi-family unit.” There are at least 35 multi-family units registered for the 2022-23 school year in the state.

If your learning pod contains more than two families and will have parents or other teachers leading unique classes just for your school, it may qualify as a private school. You can read more about what Nebraska classifies as a private school, how they’re regulated, and how to start one.

Learning Support Pods:

If your child is enrolled in an existing online school or local public, charter, or private school, and uses that school’s curriculum under the supervision of an adult in a learning pod, you do not need to register as a homeschool or private school.

    TESTIMONIALS

    Many things set Legacy School apart, but three qualities make it truly unique. The quality of teachers, small class sizes, and differentiated instruction mean children get an education that’s tailor-made just for them. At Legacy School, you find teachers who truly care about your children – who take the time to get to know them, their unique learning styles, their strengths, and weaknesses – and then educate to them. I never expected my son to love school, but at Legacy School, every day has been a great day. That’s not an exaggeration. He bounds home after school each day, excited about what he has accomplished. When you find a school that works to make every day a ‘great day’ for all of its kids, fostering their independence and creativity and offering an exceptional level of instruction, you know you’ve found the best.

    Jason & Lindy Kyzer

    The staff at Legacy School is tremendous — caring, kind, and completely focused on helping the kids learn, grow, and have fun together. The school puts a huge focus on giving back and offers opportunities to give each month through their Giving Tree.  And, they go above and beyond by hosting school parades during Halloween, making Christmas programs super special, hosting a Grandparents Day, a Dads & Donuts day, and the very best of all, a Mother’s Day Tea.  Our child loves the teachers, aides, and staff.  I would highly recommend Legacy School to anyone looking for a great school!

    Julia Doria

    I am proud to say our family was with Legacy from the beginning.  I watched two dedicated teachers’ dreams grow into a beautiful school my children looked forward to attending each day.  As a school parent, it is very evident each decision Mrs. Baca and Mrs. Pedersen make for their students is done so with great care.  They have handpicked the very best of teachers and teachers’ aides to nurture and educate their students.  The curriculum is set at each child’s pace, and from what I’ve seen, each child has their moment to shine.  I encourage you to tour the school because their set up is so innovative with an area of interest for every child.   Legacy School has given my children a real love for learning, which is very important to their educational journey.

    Angela Butler

    Our daughter attended Legacy School when they opened their doors in 2008.  While attending Legacy, she grew an incredible amount – not only academically but also emotionally and socially.  We credited this growth to the staff, and the program Legacy School provides.  We feel extremely blessed that we found such a wonderful school and caring, educated teachers.  Legacy School is such an asset to this community and is truly beneficial to the children that attend.

    Nebraska Lawmakers Propose Dozens of New Education Bills as Charters, Vouchers Gain Momentum – The 74

    See more coverage of School Choice Week 2017

    Nebraska lawmakers guaranteed last week that the state legislature would have a contentious 2017 session by introducing a barrage of education reform proposals, including high-profile bills that would allow for charter schools for the first time, create a voucher system for students in low-performing public schools and overhaul school accountability.

    The charter bill, introduced Wednesday by Republican Sen. Tyson Larson and co-sponsored by freshman Sen. Lou Ann Linehan, revives a debate over the publicly funded, privately run schools that are permitted in 43 other states.

    Similar proposals in past years have failed to gain traction in Nebraska’s officially nonpartisan unicameral legislature. In 2015, the education committee voted down a Larson bill seeking to open five charter schools in Omaha. (Omaha Public Schools, the largest district in the state, operates a districtwide school choice and open enrollment program for its 52,000 students.)

    But supporters of such measures believe political shifts statewide and nationally — especially the nomination of charter and voucher proponent Betsy DeVos for secretary of education in the Trump administration — add fresh momentum to their efforts. Trump carried the state in the presidential election with 58.7 percent of the vote.

    “The fact that he is supportive of reform is helpful,” said Linehan, adding that DeVos, in her confirmation hearing Tuesday, “did a fine job, she will get confirmed, and she’s going to be talking about these issues. ”

    (The 74: DeVos Pledges Not to Gut Public Schools or Force School Choice During Confirmation Hearing)

    Linehan added that a power shift on the state education committee, of which she is a new member, contributes to her optimism.

    “We’ll actually have a chance to talk openly and honestly about spending, about accountability, about what’s really going on,” said Linehan, who previously worked for Chuck Hagel when he was a senator, and for Colin Powell during the Bush administration.

    Although Republicans, who control the legislature by a wide margin, lost a handful of seats, they were able to gain seats on the traditionally left-leaning education committee — which became evenly split, the Lincoln Journal Star reported. The committee’s new chairman, Republican Sen. Mike Groene, however, has expressed support for accountability for public schools and would consider measures to allow vouchers or charters, the paper reported.

    Larson’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

    Linehan and Larson’s bill would create the Independent Public School Authorizing and Accountability Commission, which would grant five-year renewable charter compacts to qualifying applicants and provide oversight.

    Under the proposal, nonprofit, tuition-free charter schools could operate in school districts with at least one school rated at the lowest performance level, based on state rankings.

    The bill also includes a provision apparently intended to help new charters recruit certified teachers. Under the proposal, teachers at public school districts could opt to take a leave of absence for up to four years to teach at a charter; upon return to their district job, they’d be entitled to their previously earned benefits.

    “If we’re lucky enough that somebody who does this well comes to Nebraska and opens a charter school, the state would be picking up the tab,” Linehan said. “And what I’m most excited about in all of them is, in the end, kids get educated.”

    The senator’s daughter, Katie Linehan, leads the pro-charter organization Educate Nebraska.

    “A child’s ZIP code should never determine the quality of her education. Unfortunately, for far too many Nebraska children today, that is the reality,” Linehan said in a statement. “School choice empowers families and helps ensure every child can access a great school. We’re excited about what this legislation would do for families in Nebraska.”

    Opponents say charters and vouchers will sap funds from public school coffers, further burdening school districts even as the state faces a budget deficit.

    Ann Hunter-Pirtle is a 2005 graduate of the public schools in Lincoln who recently founded Stand for Schools, a public schools advocacy organization. The charter and voucher proposals would specifically hurt rural districts, she wrote in an email to The 74, because they would be forced to release their already dwindling tax dollars and even risk closure.

    “Putting public tax dollars into private hands, whether through charter schools or vouchers, poses significant risks — including the wave of tens of millions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse witnessed in Ohio, the failure of vouchers in Milwaukee to deliver results, and the nightmare that is the Detroit school system thanks in large part to Betsy DeVos’s involvement. That risk is not worth taking when our public schools are doing so well and when our school boards are providing effective oversight,” she said in the email.

    Hunter-Pirtle added that her organization supports strengthening accountability for schools and districts but that she favors a system that prioritizes student growth over proficiency on a single test, unlike a proposal introduced by Sen. Linehan. The bill would replace the current accountability system, which the Linehans believe may not meet the requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act, with one that grades schools on an A–F scale, the Lincoln Journal Star reported.

    (The 74: Barnum: The Growth vs. Proficiency Debate and Why Al Franken Raised a Boring but Critical Issue)

    Among the several dozen other education measures introduced by legislators and referred to the education committee are:

    • LB 608, introduced by Linehan, would create the Parental Choice Scholarship Program Act to allow state and local funding to follow students from low-performing public schools to private schools. Districts whose students seek to move to a private school would pay either 75 percent of the per-pupil cost or the cost of regular tuition, books and uniforms at the private school, whichever is less. Any unused funding would be placed in a property tax relief fund.
    • LB 118, introduced by Republican Sen. Robert Hilkemann, would allow students and families to open education savings accounts and accept contributions of up to $2,000 annually for education-related expenses from individuals and businesses, which would receive tax incentives for donations.

    Spokespersons for the Nebraska State Board of Education and the Omaha Public Schools Board of Education said they will withhold comment until their members can fully review the proposals. Both boards meet Monday.

    The Nebraska State Education Association, which represents 28,000 public school teachers and other school professionals, declined to comment.

      School Funding Claim

      A constitutional challenge to New York State’s school funding system was filed in 1993 by the Fiscal Justice Campaign. Isk, Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc. (CFE) v. New York State (also known as CFE v. New York State ), alleges that the state’s school funding system underfunds New York’s public schools and deprives their students of their constitutional right to a normal basic education.

      The Court of Appeals, New York’s highest court, ruled in 1996 that New York State’s constitution requires the state to provide all children with the opportunity to receive a “good basic education.” In 2001, Judge of the State Supreme Court. Leland DeGrasse found that the current public school funding system is unconstitutional. Governor George Pataki appealed the decision, which was overturned in 2002 by the Appeals Chamber. The CFE appealed to the New York Court of Appeals, which again ruled in favor of the CFE in 2003. The Court of Appeals gave the State of New York until July 30, 2004, to comply with its ruling.

      However, the state missed that deadline and the court appointed three judges who had until November 30, 2004 to present the compliance plan to State Supreme Court Judge Leland DeGrasse. Judge DeGrasse agreed with the judges’ recommendations and ruled in 2005 that New York schools needed about $15 billion to give students their constitutional right to a good basic education.

      Gov. Pataki again contacted the appeals department. However, in 2006, the Appellate Division ordered the state legislature to consider a plan to channel between $4.7 billion and $5.63 billion to New York schools and upheld an earlier ruling to allocate about $9.2 billion dollars of capital funds to the school system over five years. New York public high schools include: Bard Early College, Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Technical High School, Hunter College High School, daytime, LaGuardia High School, Staten Island Technical High School, Stuyvesant High School, daytime, and Townsend Harris High School, daytime.

Founded in 1899, it was the first museum in the world specifically for children. The museum is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion. The NYC Hall of Science is a hands-on science and technology center with over 400 exhibits on biology, chemistry, and physics. It is housed in one of the few surviving buildings of the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

      Research

      New York is a center for scientific research, especially in the fields of medicine and the life sciences. The city has 15 leading national medical research institutes and medical centers. These include Rockefeller University, Beth Israel Medical Center, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, Mount Sinai Medical Center (where Yonas Salk, a polio vaccine developer as an intern) and Mount Sinai Medical School, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center , and New York University Medical School. In the Bronx, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a major academic center. Brooklyn is also home to one of the leading urban medical centers in the country. SUNY Downstate Medical Center, an academic medical research institution and the oldest hospital-based medical school in the United States. Professor Raymond Vahan Damadian, a pioneer in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research, has been part of the faculty since 1967 to 1977 and built the first MRI machine there, Indomitable. The New York Center for Structural Biology in upper Manhattan is a highly regarded federally funded medical research center with the largest and most advanced cluster of high-field research magnets in the United States. The city is home to over 50 life science companies and two biotech incubators, with about 30 companies spinning out from local research institutes each year.

      The Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is NASA’s component laboratory with the Goddard Space Flight Center, the Earth-Sun Research Division and a division of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Current GISS research focuses on a large-scale study of global climate change. It also conducts basic space science research in support of Goddard’s programs.

      Rockefeller University, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is a world-renowned center for research and graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry and physics. Founded by John D. Rockefeller at 1901, the university became the site of many important scientific discoveries. Rockefeller scientists established that DNA is the chemical basis of heredity, discovered blood types, showed that viruses can cause cancer, founded the modern field of cell biology, developed the structure of antibodies, developed methadone maintenance therapy for people addicted to heroin, invented AIDS. “cocktail” drug therapy and revealed the weight-regulating hormone leptin. Twenty-three Nobel Prize winners are affiliated with the university, which is a surprising number considering that Rockefeller University has a relatively small number of laboratories.

      The Pfizer Bronx Plant Research Laboratory, built with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, State of New York and New York City, named after major private donors, is a major new research facility at the New York Botanical Gardens opened in 2006 year. The laboratory is a purely research institution with projects more diverse than research at universities and pharmaceutical companies. The main focus of the laboratory’s research is on plant genomics, the study of how genes are involved in plant development. One question scientists hope to answer is Darwin’s “disgusting mystery”; when, where and why flowering plants appeared. The lab’s research is also advancing the discipline of molecular systematics, the study of DNA as evidence that can reveal the evolutionary history and relationships of plant species. Staff scientists are also studying the use of plants in immigrant communities in New York and the genetic mechanisms by which neurotoxins are produced in some plants, work that may be linked to nerve disease in humans. A staff of 200 simultaneously teaches 42 doctoral students from all over the world; since 189In the 1900s, scientists at the New York Botanical Gardens carried out about 2,000 research missions around the planet to collect plants from the wild. In the Plant Chemistry Laboratory, chemical compounds from plants are extracted to create a world plant chemistry library and stored in a 768 square foot (71.3 sq. 2 ) DNA storage room with 20 freezers that store millions of samples, including rare, endangered or extinct species. To protect against winter power outages, there is a backup power generator with a capacity of 300 kilowatts. 9 In 2008, New York Sun gave letter grades to New York City’s top private schools based solely on their net reported assets and student acceptance rates at Harvard University.

      Krasnogvardeisky district of St. Petersburg

      Organization of mixed education format

      Throughout the years of its existence, our school has not accidentally occupied a worthy place among the educational institutions of the region and the city. At the heart of all achievements is the activity of a team of like-minded people: teachers, students, parents. The school has a homely atmosphere. The main task of the director, in my opinion, is to respect the wisdom of experienced school teachers and support the initiatives, aspirations and impulses of young teachers, those for whom teaching is not only work, but also the meaning of life. Even Confucius said: “Whoever comprehends the new, cherishing the old, he can be a teacher.”

      Secondary school No. 160 with in-depth study of English in the Krasnogvardeisky district is the oldest educational institution with in-depth study of English in the Krasnogvardeisky district of St. Petersburg. The date of establishment of the educational institution is December 22, 1966, and already in 1980 the school received the status of a school with in-depth study of the English language.

      In 2010, a number of schools were reorganized in the Krasnogvardeisky District, including GBOU Secondary School No. 161, which became part of GBOU Secondary School No. 160, thus the school entered a new stage of its development.

      The school has two large buildings:

      • The main school is located at: 195176, St. Petersburg, pr. 1, tel./fax: (812) 222-56-46.

      The school has an advanced English language training program. This means that for English lessons, a class of 25 people or more is divided into three groups. The number of hours in the program is supplemented by extracurricular activities. These are entertaining grammar lessons in elementary school, at an older age – home reading lessons, St. Petersburg studies, difficult grammatical topics. There are groups for those who have problems with learning a foreign language. The school employs 22 English teachers, most of whom have been with the school for at least 20 years. Teachers actively participate in the All-Russian Olympiad in English, alternative Olympiads, and the international British Bulldog competition.

      Every year there is an international school exchange between our school and the Saint-Augustin school in Angers “Interaction of Russian and French cultures”. The reception of French friends is usually held in February, we leave for France in May.

      The project started in 2011 and aims to develop the ability to make friends and be responsible for friends. The working language of exchange is English.
