The AQuESTT accountability system recognizes school success by rating schools on six tenets. These six tenets include Positive Partnerships, Relationships, and Success; Transitions; Educational Opportunities and Access; College, Career, and Civic Ready; Assessment; and Educator Effectiveness. AQuESTT allows schools to focus on educational equity for their students. The NDE, through the AQuESTT system, classifies schools into four categories: Excellent, Great, Good, and Needs Improvement.
