On Nebraska's NSCAS, Grade 8 Mathematics is reported on a scale from 1050 to 1550, and each score falls into one of 3 performance levels. Reaching On Track (at 1237 or above) is the state's grade-level, on-track benchmark.
| Level | Score range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Developing | 1050–1236 | The lowest level, well below grade-level expectations |
| On Track | 1237–1346 | Meeting grade-level expectations (the state proficiency line) |
| Advanced | 1347–1550 | The highest level, above grade-level expectations |
Statewide in 2025, about 57% of Grade 8 students reached On Track or Advanced in Math. The bar above shows the share at each level (left = lowest).
A score's meaning depends on where it lands in the ranges above, and on how it compares to other students. Our free tool turns a score into an estimated percentile versus the child's school, district and the whole state, so you can see exactly where a score stands, not just its level.
