Nebraska Department of Education releases AQuESTT report for all schools in the state of Nebraska.

On Friday morning the Nebraska Department of Education released assessment data for all schools statewide, known as AQuESTT.

It is an assessment tool for schools to be graded on, which is not solely based on test scores.

In the statewide assessment release, each school and school district are classified by excellent, great, good or needs improvement.

The AQuESTT report ranks the Lincoln Public School District as great, which was highlighted by an 82% graduation rate, and an attendance rate of 94%.

“Overall we are quite pleased with our school classifications the AQuESTT accountability system is rather complex. Draws on a lot of data points, but overall our schools did very well,” Matt Larson the Interim Assistant to the Superintendent said.

Lincoln Public Schools was ranked higher than the state average in Math, Science, and English.
