The School District of Elmbrook "Significantly Exceeds Expectations," according to the Department of Public Instruction who released district and school report cards this week. The District's rating score of 87.6 is the fourth highest of K-12 districts in the state, based on 2020-21 school year data. Additionally, all of the District's schools received classifications of "significantly exceeds" or "exceeds" expectations, the two highest ratings.

The district and school report cards are intended to create a more standardized methodology for parents and community members to determine the effectiveness of their local districts and schools.

The report cards include outcomes for each school in four priority areas: Student Achievement, Student Growth, Closing Gaps, and Post-Secondary Readiness. Based on a combined score in each of these four areas, scores and ratings are determined for all public schools and districts across the state.

“We are proud of our District’s Report Card rating and feel it represents the high-quality education provided in each of our schools,” said Dr. Mike Sereno, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning. “These results are reflective of our strong assessment results which include the second highest District ACT score in the state of Wisconsin. The Report Cards help us benchmark our results and practices to the best schools in Wisconsin, and we use that information to improve every year.”
