Parents are children's first and life-long teachers. The partnership between home and school is so valuable and we recognize that parental involvement is critical to children's success in school.

About District Report Cards
As part of the state accountability system, reflected in Wisconsin’s approved ESEA Flexibility Request, 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 the state reading and mathematics tests
-
Student Growth – improvement over time on the state reading and mathematics 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
Performance on three Student Engagement Indicators is also reported. These three indicators affect student success and school effectiveness.
-
Test Participation Rate - goal of 95 percent test participation for all students and each subgroup.
-
Absenteeism Rate - with a goal of 13 percent or less.
-
Dropout Rate - with a goal of six percent or less.
A district's or school’s Overall Accountability Score places the district or school into one of five Overall Accountability Ratings:
