2022-23 School Report Card
The WI DPI has released the 2022-23 School Report Cards. We are proud to announce that our Jr/Sr High School score increased by over seven points. This is a reflection of our students' and staff's tireless effort to grow and improve. Read more about our report card, strengths, and areas for growth here.
iReady Diagnostic Beginning Dec. 4
Our district uses a program called iReady Diagnostic & Instruction to measure students' skills and readiness in reading and math. All students in grades 7-11 participated in September, and in December, we will use it to assess the growth of individual students in grades 7-9 who have received reading and/or math interventions during W-I-N Time this fall. We will also administer the diagnostic to new students who did not participate in the September assessment. To learn more about iReady and how we use it to support our students, see the letter sent by our district administrator, Ms. Calnin, at the start of the school year.
