Scottsbluff Public Schools

Scottsbluff High School students enrolled in World Language classes participated in The Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) in February 2024. The AAPPL is an assessment that measures proficiency across the three modes of communication, Interpersonal, Presentation, and Interpretive in various languages. AAPPL scores range from N-1 (low range of Novice) through A-1 (low range of Advanced.

• Students must score Intermediate 3 or higher on all 4 tests to earn a silver seal.
