A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

PICOTTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located in the northwest area of Omaha, Nebraska, serves a diverse student population as part of the Omaha Public Schools district. The school is named in honor of Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte, a historic figure who was the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree. In keeping with her legacy of service and advocacy, the school strives to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment that emphasizes academic growth, character development, and community engagement for students in grades PK–5.

The school is well-regarded for its commitment to a well-rounded education, offering a curriculum that balances core subjects like literacy and mathematics with opportunities for creative and social development. Picotte places a strong emphasis on fostering a welcoming "family" atmosphere, encouraging active parent involvement and maintaining close partnerships with the local community.
