Woody Allen once said, “Eighty per cent of success is showing up.”

One New York high school senior is about to prove Allen’s adage — and go him one better.

As The Post reported yesterday, Husly Rivera will graduate from Brooklyn’s Academy of Urban Planning on June 25 with a perfect attendance record.

In fact, he hasn’t missed a day of school in 14 years — including pre-kindergarten classes.

But Rivera’s done a good deal more than merely show up: He’s set to graduate third in his class, with a healthy 94 average.

He also hasn’t missed a day in the last six years from his weekend job at a moving company.

In August, he heads to John Jay College of Criminal Justice, looking eventually to become a police detective.

Certainly any police force would be well-served by an individual of Husly Rivera’s smarts and work ethic.

He has earned the congratulations of all New Yorkers.

We wish him well.
