What this means: About 69% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 68% typical for Nebraska schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Nebraska's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

How to read these scores
What is NSCAS?
NSCAS is the statewide standardized test administered by Nebraska public schools.
What does "% On Track + Advanced" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
How should I read a single score?
Each percent represents the share of tested students who performed at grade level or above. Compare the school number against the state, district, and county averages on this page to see whether it is above or below typical.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Nebraska, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Nebraska Department of Education, Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System (NSCAS). School-level All Students subgroup from the NEP public data downloads (nepdata.education.ne.gov). Headline metric is the cumulative "On Track + Advanced" rate (top 2 of 3 NSCAS levels: Developing / On Track / Advanced).
How often is it updated?
NSCAS is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
