The Omaha School System

Omaha, Nebraska, is the largest city in the state, with a population of nearly 467,000. The city is home to a wide variety of public and private academic institutions. Omaha Public Schools oversee all public schools in the area, which serve nearly 48,000 students. Omaha also has a large number of Catholic schools serving an additional 21,000 students. These Catholic schools fall under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha.

Varsity Tutors can help you connect with professional tutors in Omaha who have the necessary experience required to help your child take their academic performance to the next level. Even if your child is in one of the best available schools, there can be many reasons why he or she would benefit from additional academic assistance. Below is a chart of test scores in the largest schools in Omaha compared to state averages. Where does your child stack up?

Omaha Test Scores

Throughout the country, students begin preparing for nationally recognized exams such as the ACT and SAT as they approach the end of their high school careers. However, Omaha students must also study for the Nebraska State Accountability Assessments (NeSA). These exams begin in grade three and end in grade eleven and cover subject areas such as reading, math, writing, and science.

In addition to helping your child prepare for one of the state or national exams, an Omaha tutor can also help your child hone necessary skills to improve their academic scores in their daily classes. By enhancing their grades, students also realize greater educational opportunities as they progress through their early years and into high school.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"Today the student and I worked on review for her chemistry exam and she worked on her geometry homework."

"Today the student and I reviewed the concepts of unemployment and inflation from our previous session. We began new material with Section 17.2 of the text, which covers the use of fiscal policy to stimulate an economy. After defining the fiscal policy approach (the federal government's use of taxation and spending policies to affect overall economic activity), we discussed the ways in which fiscal policy impacts inflation and unemployment. From section 17.3, we covered monetarism and the monetary rule, as well as the historical significance of economists John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman. We have continued to use a new method of taking notes discussed in previous sessions -- he now uses heading and subheadings from the text to guide his note taking as opposed to solely recording key terms. While it is an adjustment for him, he has taken an interest in improving the quality of his notes. I consider that a serious win from this session. "

"The student was working on a sort of amalgam course that brings many elements of electronics (from condensed matter and atomic physics, and electromagnetism) into one introductory course. As such, we talked about topics of solid band structure, the hydrogenic atom, and Ohm's law in a qualitative, but instructive, way that helped him get hold of some basic concepts."

"Today, most of our time was spent on the student's math homework. There were 20 problems on addition and multiplication of fractions. Then, we worked on his "stations" work. We completed what he hadn't at school. He has a test Thursday, and I believe that he has picked up what he needs to do well on the test."

"The first session was to gauge where the student is at with reading. First we read and easy book, then we went over some sounds that he had trouble with. He tends to see that word starts with a certain letter, and instead of sounding the word out, guesses another one that he thinks might make sense. I had him write out some words with letter combinations like 'st' 'nk' 'th,' etc. Last we read another book which took a little longer than the first. "

"I will be seeing the student several times over the next couple weeks to help him prepare for final exams in AP US History and in Math. In our first session we outlined a study plan between here and the tests, and then started reviewing for History. We were able to cover period 1, which included the discovery and colonization of the Americas, the establishment of permanent settlements and colonies, differences between Northern, Middle, and Southern North American colonies, and other issues of identity, migration, and relations between Europeans and other races in these and Latin American colonies. We plan to thoroughly cover at least 3 more periods from this class before the final on December 16th."

"The student had some missing math assignments to make up, and I read up on the section in her textbook about angles and their measures. She worked on an assignment she had converting degrees to radians and vice versa, which was pretty easy, except for the oft-dreaded word problems."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I reviewed questions from last session and continued on to new ones in the Quantitative Reasoning section. We covered number lines as well, which she was unfamiliar with. We then covered part of her essay, which we will review more of tomorrow."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Yesterday, we went through a number of problems on energy, momentum, and their respective conservation laws. We talked a lot about collisions of one sort or another. "

"We continued practicing different types of reading comprehension questions, including summarizing and paraphrasing, words in context, cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, and sequence of events. The student did very well. We reviewed trouble vocab from last session and finished up by working on math questions from a practice exam."

"The student did not need help in the current subject area in his class so we decided to work on his Math SAT. Before the session I had him do a practice SAT test, and we went over the answers he got incorrect. The areas reviewed included geometry, algebra, and some word problems. About half the questions he got incorrect the first time were due to rushing, so we discussed strategies for pacing on the test. The other half were areas he needed brushing up on, but is now doing better."
