Lincoln & Hastings Kearney, NE, October 14, 2026 —
Nebraska students recorded an average ACT composite score of 18.8, and the state ranked higher than most states, according to figures reported by the Nebraska Department of Education. The department also reported that 100% of its students participated in the exam.
The reported figures describe both student performance and participation. The summary does not provide the year of the results, the number of students tested or details about which student group was included. It also does not state Nebraska’s precise position among states or identify the scores used for comparison.
The 100% participation figure is relevant to understanding the reported average, but the available information does not explain how participation was defined or how the state compiled the results. No breakdown by school, region or student group was provided, so the overall average does not show how scores may vary within Nebraska.
The information supplied also does not include comparisons with earlier Nebraska results or explain whether the 18.8 average changed over time. Without those details, the figures establish the reported statewide average and participation rate, but do not show a trend or explain factors that may have affected performance.
The Department of Education is identified as the source of the participation figure. The information provided does not specify the source for the state ranking beyond the comparison that Nebraska scored higher than most states. Further details, including the reporting period and the basis for the ranking, were not provided.
