MADISON, Wis. — A number of school districts in our area are “exceeding expectations” in the latest report cards issued by the state Department of Public Instruction.
Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh and Fond du Lac all received that designation. The De Pere School District received the highest rating in the area.
As for individual schools, Woodland Intermediate in Kimberly had the highest state rating at 98.5 percent. The lowest rated school was Columbus Elementary in Appleton, which was found to be “not meeting expectations.”
The ratings are based on more factors than test scores, including the socio-economic and racial makeup of the schools and the district as a whole.
