Omaha Public Schools (OPS) is facing challenges with student attendance, as many students are not attending school regularly. Data presented at the OPS Board of Education meeting shows that students who attend school at least 95% of the time are significantly more likely to perform well academically, with a 50% higher chance of proficiency in Language Arts and an 80% higher chance in Math. Despite efforts, attendance has remained consistent over the past three years, with little improvement, according to OPS officials.
