2019 School Report Cards: Here's How Elmbrook Fared

BROOKFIELD, WI — School report cards released Tuesday by the State Department of Public Instruction show that the Elmbrook School District "significantly exceeds expectations."

The report cards, evaluate Wisconsin public school districts based on students’ reading and math achievement, graduation rates, attendance among other metrics.

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, Elmbrook garnered 88.9 points, and garnered five stars in their rankings. The score is a marked improvement from years past: in 2018, the district garnered 88.4 points and garnered just one star, meaning it also "significantly met expectations."

“We are proud of our District’s Report Card rating and feel it represents the high quality
education provided in each of our schools,” Mike Sereno, Assistant Superintendent for
Teaching and Learning said in a statement. “These results can be attributed to the dedicated efforts of our students and staff, and our commitment to meet the needs of all students. The Report Cards help us benchmark our results and practices to the best schools in Wisconsin, and we use that information to improve each year.”
