How did students in your school district perform on state tests at grades 3-8 and 10? What percentage of students participate in school-supported activities or take advanced placement courses? The answers to these and many questions are found online at Wisconsin's Information Network for Successful Schools (WINSS).
WINSS is a project of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction covering four categories about your school district: Academic achievement, finances, student behavior, and demographics. The results for your search are tabulated in user-friendly charts and graphs.
To pick one example from the more than 30 school districts in the 17th Senate District ... In the 2006-07 school year, 90 percent of all Dodgeville Middle School sixth-graders scored "proficient" or better on the reading portion of the state achievement test.
The information can help educators and parents in a district understand and expand or improve student learning strategies.
About test scores, as the Web site notes, no single test or indicator can tell us whether students have learned everything that is important for them to learn. I agree.
