As of October 5, 2009, Garden County Schools' Statewide Writing Assessment Results for 2008-2009 were available to the public on the NDE web site: The information shows the percentage of our students in grades 4, 8, and 11 who met or exceeded the state writing standards last year. These results show that Garden County students continue to perform above the state norm. During last year's school term 93% of our district's 4th grade students, 100 % of the participating 8th grade students, and 100% of Garden County High School's juniors met or exceeded the State of Nebraska's writing standards. Proficient writers possess the critical thinking skills and academic foundation our students should have to perform successfully in all other content areas.
