Hastings Public Schools is District Accredited by AdvancEd, the largest accrediting organization in the world. The Quality Assurance Review (QAR) Report from November 2010 provided the district with four commendations and three required actions based on the Seven Standards of Quality Systems. As a result, the District implemented the Breakthrough Model of School Improvement. The result is a 3-year Action Plan in three different areas.
