Hello, everyone

Please give me your opinion and I'd appreciate that. Thank you!
I saw a sentence in my grammar book and I wonder if it's right. It goes like this:
"Nobody (else) in her school is as tall as she."
The "else" in the ( ) means it can be elimanated. But can it really be elimanated?Please give me your opinion and I'd appreciate that. Thank you!
