St. Patrick's Catholic School

What St. Patrick's Catholic School does

St. Patrick's Catholic School is a faith-based private K-8 institution in Elkhorn, Nebraska, operating under the Archdiocese of Omaha and serving the Omaha metropolitan area. Founded in 1998, it enrolls students across three divisions: Early Childhood (preschool through Transitional Kindergarten), Elementary (K-4), and Middle School (5-8), with a stated per-grade cap of 90 students across three sections per grade. The school is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED, last renewed spring 2024) and operates with roughly 257 employees including teaching faculty (61-62% of whom hold master's degrees), specialist instructors across art, music, Spanish, technology, PE, and library, plus administrative and support staff.

The school's core offering is a college-preparatory academic curriculum layered with daily faith formation, social-emotional learning support, teacher assistants in classrooms, and subject-specialist teaching teams in middle school (5/6 and 7/8 cohorts). Supporting programs include Kidzone before- and after-school care for K-8, a SPAC athletic program spanning Micro Sports through competitive soccer and cheerleading, a Home & School parent organization, and an Angel Scholarship award for 8th-grade student-athletes. Technology infrastructure is conventional: FACTS (RenWeb) is used for enrollment, billing, financial aid, and parent communication; STAR provides standardized student assessments. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, no AI/ML product layer, and no app of its own.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition (a 2026-2027 chart is published, with pricing varying by grade level), supplemented by a $225 non-refundable registration fee per acceptance, a $35 per-family Home & School fee, parish and community donations, tuition assistance funding (including through Children's Scholarship Fund Omaha), and an extensive referral-based fundraising program (TAGG, Box Tops, Baker's/Kroger Community Rewards, Casey's Cash for Classrooms). Distribution and go-to-market rely almost entirely on word-of-mouth from existing families, parish referral via the affiliated St. Patrick's Catholic Church, campus tours, and community events such as the Fall Festival, Angel Run, and Shamrock Stride; admissions prioritize parishioners, current families, and siblings. The strategic posture is governed by a 2025-2028 Strategic Plan completed in 2024-2025 with pillars spanning learning, educators, faith-centered storytelling, and future-building.
