History

Originally located at the intersections of North 24th and Ames Streets, Saratoga School was started by local citizens in 1866. The one room schoolhouse was one of the first public schools in Nebraska, and perhaps the first in the Omaha area.

About

Beginning with the 2000-01 school year, Saratoga began offering the Hoberman Learning Academy and African Centered Education as its two major programs. Saratoga has an expanded mission statement stating that the basic function of the school is to "provide instruction and opportunities for achievement. It shall be the continuing aim of Saratoga Elementary, as an outcome of instructional effort, to promote keen mental alertness, maintain a high standard of physical fitness, increase parent involvement and bridge the gap between school and community."
