Accountability for a Quality Education System, Today and Tomorrow
The first-ever results of Nebraska's new accountability system were released on Friday, December 4, 2015, showing that Auburn Public Schools was designated as one of Nebraska's five "Excellent" school districts. Bennington Public Schools, Elkhorn Public Schools, Potter-Dix Public Schools, and Riverside Public Schools were also named as Excellent districts.
The new state system, Accountability for a Quality Education System, Today and Tomorrow (Accountability for a Quality Education System, Today and Tomorrow), designates all public school districts and school buildings as Excellent, Great, Good, or Needs Improvement. Auburn High School and Auburn Middle School were named as Excellent buildings. Calvert Elementary was classified as a Great building.
The overall rating includes measures from two areas — academic and effective instructional practices. AQuESTT focuses first on classifying schools and districts using state test scores, graduation rates, student participation rates, and year-to-year improvement and growth – criteria that were used in the state's past accountability system.
The second component goes even further. Under AQuESTT, districts and schools are required to self-assess their practices embedded in six tenets for successful schooling. These tenets are 1) Positive School Partnerships and Relationships and Student Success, 2) Transitions between grades and school buildings, 3) Educational Opportunities and Access, 4) College and Career Readiness, 5) Multiple Assessments, and 6) Educator Effectiveness. Each tenet is evaluated on a 0-3 scale: Not at All - 0; Limited Extent – 1; Moderate Extent - 2; and Great Extent - 3.
AQuESTT encourages schools to focus on every student every day and to build a system for continuous school improvement that supports students, educators and the school learning environment.
Nebraska Performance Accountability System
NePAS was Nebraska's testing accountability system prior to 2015. NePAS was developed to report how students in each of Nebraska's 249 school districts scored on statewide reading, math, science and writing tests.
NePAS provided numerous rankings in four grade level configurations: grades 3-5; grades 6-8; grades 9-12; and district (grades 3-12). Within each grade level, districts received separate rankings for each statewide test: NeSA-Reading, NeSA-Math, NeSA-Science, and NeSA-Writing. These results can be found in the Status section of NePAS, which provides 15 rankings.
Auburn Public Schools' district rankings in 2012 fell within the following percentages:
- Top 10% - 2 indicators
- Top 20% - 5 indicators
- Top 25% - 9 indicators
- Top 33.3% - 11 indicators
- Top 50% - 14 indicators[1]
When compared to schools of similar size in Nebraska, Auburn High School ranked 3rd in writing, 5th in science, and 10th in reading and math.[2] A complete listing of their rankings can be found on the State of School Report Card on the Nebraska Department of Education web page.[1]
