2019 School Report Cards: Here's How Greendale Schools Fared

GREENDALE, WI — School report cards released Tuesday by the State Department of Public Instruction show that the Greendale School District "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, Greendale received 82.0 points, and garnered four stars in their rankings. The score is in line with results from years past: in 2017, the district garnered 84.7 points and garnered four stars, meaning it "exceeds expectations."

“Our district staff continues to work diligently with students to meet their needs academically, as well as socially and emotionally,” Kim Amidzich, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Greendale Schools said in a statement. ”Greendale students perform well on standardized measures, and these results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty, students, and families.”

“Particularly noteworthy in this report card cycle is the graduation rate gap where Greendale High
School (and subsequently the district) received a score of 50 out of a possible 50 indicating there is no disparity in graduation rates between ability, economic and ethnic groups in our district,” Amidzich said.

“Greendale Schools’ staff has been working for the last several years to understand the other gaps that might impact a student’s college and career readiness,” Amidzich added. “We are working to remove barriers in opportunity and engagement for our students to ensure every Greendale student has access to the rigorous coursework and co-curricular experiences highlighted in the Redefining Ready benchmarks of college and career readiness.”
