Student Achievement Successes

Assessment scores are just a little snapshot of what we’re about at York Public Schools BUT we want that snapshot to be as strong as possible and it’s improving all the time!

The percentage of our students that meet or exceed proficiency on the state math test has increased 10% in the past two years to 77%
• Duke 5th and 7th graders had the HIGHEST average score in the conference!

The percentage of our students that meet or exceed proficiency on the state reading test has increased 16% in the past three years to 85%
• YPS’ district-wide average student score of 123.0 on NeSA-R in 2013 tied for the “conference championship”
• Duke 3rd, 5th, and 7th graders had the HIGHEST average score in the conference!

The average student score for all 5th, 8th, and 11th grade students in Nebraska on the State Science test last spring was 103 while York’s average was 112.7

70.3% of Nebraska’s public school students in 5th, 8th, and 11th grades met/exceeded proficiency on the State Science Test compared to 81.7% of our York Dukes

The 11th grade average student score on the NeSA-Writing test last spring was 45 while York’s average was 47

69% of Nebraska Public School juniors met/exceeded proficiency on last spring’s state writing test compared to 75% of our York Dukes

The average ACT score for the York Dukes is currently 22.6 while the state average is 22.0 and the national average is 21.8

We're proud of our students, their families, and our staff and look forward to continuing to manage the accountability that comes with assessments while also providing enriching educational experiences for our kids as well.
