The mission of the School District of Elmbrook is to educate and inspire every student to think, to learn, and to succeed.
To accomplish the mission, the District utilizes an aligned strategic planning process
that produces goals from the Board Room to the Classroom. Plans of improvement are
developed using the Plan – Do – Study – Act (PDSA) model for continuous improvement,
and progress is monitored and reported quarterly to all stakeholders.
Beginning in January 2013, the District will embark on a 5-month strategic planning process that will result in a 5-year Strategic Plan (2013 – 2018). To be a part of this process, please contact Chris Thompson, Chief Information Officer, indicating your interest.

As part of a state and national effort to raise the achievement expectations for students, Wisconsin increased its 2012 WKCE mathematics and reading benchmark scores needed to reach the basic, proficient and advanced performance levels. As a result, the number of students in our district and across the state performing in the “proficient” or “advanced” levels will be far fewer. An example of these changes is presented using the thermometer graphic representing 5th grade reading’s adjusted levels.
For more information, please explore the Key Links to District and State Resources on the right of this page. Parents may also find the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) document helpful in answering specific questions about your child’s 2012 WKCE results.
Please contact your child’s teacher (grades 3-5) or guidance counselor, or your school’s Instructional Resource Teacher (IRT) if you have further questions or concerns regarding your child’s test results.
