New Schools Opening in Omaha School Districts

Omaha, Nebraska and its surrounding cities have seen extensive growth in recent years. With the addition of many new families to the area, local school districts have started to experience overcrowding. In an effort to curb this issue, make way for new students, and ensure all students are given the attention and support they need, area school districts have made plans to open new schools for high school and elementary-aged students. Most recently, news comes of two new high schools opening in Omaha and Elkhorn. The two high schools are expected to hold 1,500 students and will join another new high school, which is expected to open in August 2020.

High schools aren’t the only education centers experiencing growth, either. In a recent story posted on the WOWT 6 News website, John Chapman notes, “In Gretna, school officials say there are more than 350 new students a year over the last five in their district. A new elementary school is scheduled to open later this year and another one is scheduled to open in 2021. In Bennington, school officials plan to go back to the voters to approve a bond that will pay to build a new elementary school and a new middle school.”

The new Bennington elementary school, which opened in the fall of 2019, is located near Regency Home’s Anchor Pointe neighborhood. The close proximity to the new elementary school makes Anchor Pointe a great place for growing families to call home. Anchor Pointe also offers convenient access to nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as major roadways.

Highlights of the Anchor Pointe community include:

  • Adjacent to Flanagan Lake
  • Located in the Bennington School District
  • Numerous walking and biking trails connected to Flanagan Lake
  • Community pool coming Summer of 2020
  • Home packages starting in the $350,000 range
  • Phase II and III feature a coved design
