District Report Cards

As part of the state accountability system, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) produces report cards for every district and school in Wisconsin. These Accountability Report Cards include data on multiple indicators for multiple years across four Priority Areas:

• Student Achievement – performance on state reading and math tests
• Student Growth – improvement over time on state reading and math tests
• Closing Gaps – progress of student subgroups in closing gaps in reading and mathematics performance and/or graduation rates
• On-track and Postsecondary Readiness – performance on key indicators of readiness for graduation and postsecondary pursuits, whether college or career

A district's or school's Overall Accountability Score places the district or school into one of five Overall Accountability Ratings ranging from Significantly Exceeds Expectations to Fails to Meet Expectations.
