2022-2023 SCHOOL DISTRICT OF MANAWA SCHOOL/DISTRICT REPORT CARD PRESS RELEASE
The Wisconsin 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.
The current school report card is primarily based on last year’s performance during the 2022-23 school year. Due to interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, DPI encourages caution when interpreting scores and ratings on the 2022-23 report cards. This year’s report contains multiple years of data impacted by the pandemic throughout the entire report card.
At the foundation of the report cards are four priority areas; schools and districts receive a score for each:
Achievement - proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics on the annual state assessments
Growth - year-to-year progress in ELA and math achievement
Target Group Outcomes - outcomes for students with the lowest test scores
On-Track to Graduation - reliable predictors of how successfully students are progressing toward completing their K-12 education
The priority area scores are aggregated into an overall accountability score, from 0 to 100. This score is displayed on the front page of the school or district report cards. It is important to note that the 0 to 100 accountability score is not a “percent correct” measurement and is not aligned with traditional 0-100 grading scales. Based on its score, a school or district receives one of five rating categories, from Fails to Meet Expectations to Significantly Exceeds Expectations, as well as corresponding one to five stars. The school report card is one piece of data that can be used to highlight successes and also opportunities for growth within our school district. As DPI stresses, these report cards are just one source of information about our schools.
If you have any questions related to these state report cards, please feel free to contact a member of the Administrative Team. We look forward to working with you to make 2023-24 a successful school year for our students!
