Department of Public Instruction Releases Report Cards
Communications

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is required by state statute (Wis. Stat. 115.385) to generate a school report card and district report card for every publicly funded school and district in the state. The report cards are intended to help schools and districts use performance data to celebrate successes and improve their efforts to prepare students for their futures. These public report cards can be found online at: http://dpi.wi.gov/accountability/report-cards

Our overall school district score was 78.9, and ALL six of our schools were exceeding or significantly exceeding expectations. It is very important to celebrate such great work by our students, staff, and families!

School and district report cards can be accessed online here along with resources that explain the report cards. Our school report cards are also posted on our district website.
