MADISON, WI (WPR)— The vast majority of Wisconsin schools are meeting or exceeding expectations under new report cards released by the state Department of Public Instruction.
According to officials, 94 percent of the 378 public school districts surveyed were ranked three, four or five stars, reflecting meeting, exceeding or significantly exceeding expectations. No school district received one star, reflecting failure to meet expectations.
The report cards are based on a new rating system, designed this summer, that measures four priority areas: achievement, growth, target group outcomes and on-track to graduate.
