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

WAUKESHA, WI — School report cards released Tuesday by the State Department of Public Instruction show that the Waukesha School District "meets 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, Waukesha received 70.9 points in 2019, and garnered three stars in their rankings. The score is a marked improvement from years past: in 2016, the district garnered 69.7 points and garnered three stars, meaning it "meets expectations."
