“One in five students was absent more than present — missing more than 90 days of school.”

1 in 5 students.. missing more than 90 days of school.. absent more than present.

So school is only 90 days ?

It looks like the author also attended this same school.

No.

If ‘school’ is 180 days, then missing more than 90 days is absent more than present.

Did you attend this same school?

If missing 91 days is one day more than half, then the other half is 89. Which is 180 days which is a typical state minimum school year. If the author attended that school and got this right, which one did you attend?

School is 180 days. If you miss more than 90 you are absent more than present (missed days exceed 50% at the 90 mark). The author stated it correctly.
