    N ebraska took a momentous step this past year: adopting standards in all four core subjects, with all but high school English and elementary school social studies earning passing marks from the American Federation of Teachers. The state also plans to develop its first statewide assessments. But those gains were largely overshadowed by budgetary worries caused by changes in the school finance system that could affect the state's adequacy grade in the future.

    * NOTE: The equity grade is based on 1994-95 data, the most recent available.
