(Beaver Dam) The state Department of Public Instruction have released their annual report cards for Wisconsin school districts. Public Instruction reports about 95-percent of Wisconsin school districts have exceeded – or significantly exceeded – expectations. The report card gives 399 of the 421 public school districts a three-star or higher rating on a five-star scale. DPI officials say the schools achieved that performance level despite the challenges offered by the COVID pandemic.
The Beaver Dam School District meets expectations with a three-star rating or an overall score of 58.9. The high school received a score of 89.4 for their on-track to graduate priority area which is 32.3-percent higher than all other high schools in the state.
Other area school districts that meet expectations include Cambria-Friesland with a score of 69.1, Columbus which too scored a 69.1, Horicon with a score of 65.1, Lomira who notched an overall score of 69.2, Randolph got a score of 69, Watertown received a score of 69.1, and Waupun with a 60.3.
Three school districts exceeded expectations and garnered four stars: Fox Lake with a score 79.1, Hustisford with a 72.9, and Mayville with an overall score of 80.2 – the highest score in all of Dodge County. Districts that meet few expectations include Dodgeland with a score of 56.2. The Waunakee Community School District earned the only five-star rating in the report card issued this week.
