Keep the Focus School

Keep the Focus School Underwood Hills Focus School - Parent and Community Group The Underwood Hills Focus School is a cutting-edge, best practice, and evidenced-based focus school.

This is a model not only for Omaha, but the State of Nebraska, and could well be a national model for public education. While there is much discussion, including provocative documentaries, community action plans, exhaustive studies, and thought-provoking research outlining what should be done to improve public education, Underwood Hills is a living example of true education reform. When administra

tors representing Westside, Omaha, and Elkhorn took on the task three years ago to develop a collaborative strategy to produce great education outcomes for students, they set high expectations. Even the toughest critics will admit that they have exceeded those expectations and have produced measurable results that should provide hope for our entire state. What they have achieved is absolutely remarkable. Well documented academic performance and improvements show that Underwood Hills is providing a top rate education, comparable to the best schools in the state, while maintaining an efficient, relatively low investment per pupil ratio. The academic improvement after just three years of implementation is striking.
