(Beaver Dam) Three local school districts have been recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. DPI recently released its Wisconsin Schools of Recognition honors for the 2023-2024 school year.
The awards celebrate the efforts of students, school staff, and families in ensuring educational success for all students.
The Beaver Dam School District was named a High Impact School, along with Watertown School District. High Impact Schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. DPI officials say these schools have above-average achievement when compared to similar schools.
The School District of Lomira was named a High Achieving School which means they ranked in the top ten-percent statewide for academic achievement in reading and mathematics.
The Schools of Recognition Program first launched in 2003 and singles out Title I schools for making significant strides in student growth and achievement.
