Louisville’s public schools outscore 61% of Nebraska districts

Reading proficiency in Louisville’s districts is 55%, above the Nebraska average (47%). The grade covers the public school district serving Louisville, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Nebraska, not nationally.
