The following table (Table 1) compares the average ACT scores for SSCHS who reported that they completed this recommended core college preparatory curriculum (core) with those who had not (ncore).  Please note that the Nebraska Department of Education may have a different definition of the college preparatory courses, and may, therefore publish reports showing slightly different data.
