State DPI School Report Cards Came Out Thursday: Here's How Whitefish Bay Did

WHITEFISH BAY— School report cards released Thursday by the State Department of Public Instruction show that the Whitefish Bay School District "significantly exceeds expectations."

Scores are calculated for each of the following priority areas on the state report card:

• Student Achievement proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics on state assessments

• Student Growth measured by year-to-year improvements in achievement

• Closing Gaps in performance between specific student groups (comparing English language learners, low-income students, students with disabilities, and members of a racial or an ethnic group with their peers)

• On-Track and Post-secondary Readiness is a measurement using reliable predictors of high school graduation and potential post high school success

The state DPI then weighs those metrics in order to deliver schools and districts a score from 0 to 100., Schools and districts then fall into one of five categories ranging from “significantly exceeds expectations” to “fails to meet expectations.”

According to the DPI report cards, Whitefish Bay received 89 points and garnered all five stars, meaning it "significantly exceeded expectations."

Here is how each Whitefish Bay public school fared:

• Cumberland Elementary 90.8 Significantly Exceeds Expectations
• Richards Elementary 88.1 Significantly Exceeds Expectations
• Whitefish Bay High 83.3 Significantly Exceeds Expectations
• Whitefish Bay Middle 86.5 Significantly Exceeds Expectations
