GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is releasing district report cards for the 2020-2021 school year for public and choice schools.
Federal and state law require DPI to annually publish accountability reports, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those requirements were suspended last year. The U.S. Department of Education again waived federal Every Student Succeeds Act accountability requirements for 2020-21 school year data. However, the Wisconsin State Legislature did not grant another suspension.
Report card ratings range from five stars — schools and districts that significantly exceed expectations, to one star — fail to meet expectations. For 2020-21, 2,101 public schools and 376 choice schools received report cards. Of those schools, 1,781 met, exceeded, or significantly exceeded expectations. Of the total schools, 199 public schools and 240 choice schools did not have enough available data to receive scored report cards. Of the 421 school districts that received report cards, 399 met, exceeded, or significantly exceeded expectations.
The new data out Tuesday shows how some of the districts in our area fared, including Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah and Oshkosh:
- Green Bay: 59.5, meets expectations
