Omaha Public School
By: Ryan Renner, Realtor
I have helped many families move to Omaha. Contact me if you have any questions about the Omaha area or need help buying a home.
The largest school district in the State of Nebraska is also one of the state’s largest employers. Omaha Public Schools operates 63 elementary schools, one dozen middle schools and seven high schools.
In addition, the Omaha Public Schools also operates the state’s very first virtual K-8 school and supplies the option of 13 alternative school programs. The district’s magnet schools are focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) instruction. Meanwhile, the district provides nearly two dozen career academy programs.

Kindergarten
When can my child start kindergarten? Nebraska law entitles children to receive free public education the year that they turn five on or before July 31. This is called a “cutoff date.” Schools cannot test age-eligible children for kindergarten entrance, nor suggest delaying entrance.
Enrollments will be completed online. Students must reside in the Omaha Public Schools attendance area. If you have any questions or need assistance with your registration, please call 531-299-0302 or email [email protected].
A Proof of Address (POA) is required to enroll as well as other documents. You can check the entire list of documents that are required here.
