What this means: About 84% of students here test proficient in math and reading, well above the roughly 75% typical for Nebraska schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations ranks schools against others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school can post high scores and still fall short of its prediction, or post lower scores and still beat it. This school clears its prediction by about 9 points, placing it in Nebraska's top 10%.
