2024 Minden Public School AQuESTT Classifications

 Dear Parents and Patrons:

The Nebraska Department of Education has released the 2023-2024 AQuESTT Classification for all public schools in Nebraska based on data from last school year. AQuESTT (Accountability for a Quality Education Today and Tomorrow) is the state accountability system that measures all schools in six "tenet" areas. The tenets are based on common factors contributing to a quality public school. The tenets are: 1) Educational Opportunities and Access; 2) Transitions; 3) Positive Partnerships, Relationships, and Success; 4) Educator Effectiveness; 5) Student Achievement and Growth; and 6) Postsecondary, Career, and Civic Readiness.

AQuESTT has measured Nebraska schools since 2015. This comprehensive report examines various factors that impact students' success and the school's overall effectiveness. Schools are rated in four categories: Needs Support, Good, Great, or Excellent.

 We are pleased to report that Minden Public School received a GREAT classification in the 2024 AQuESTT report!

These results are due to the hard work that our staff and administration do to prepare these students. We continue progressing in attendance, academics, state testing, and student graduation rates. We will continue to achieve great things for our students and community while improving our performance to provide the best education possible for all students! 

A more detailed explanation of the scoring used for AQuESTT is provided below.
