State Report Cards
Wisconsin has a public school and school district accountability system to assess individual schools and entire school districts in several priority areas, including students' performance on state tests, graduation rates, and closing achievement gaps for specific groups of students. Specifically, the School Report Cards provide data on multiple indicators for four Priority Areas:
The report is commonly referred to as the School Report Card.
Alternate Accountability
Per accountability requirements, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has developed an alternate accountability process for schools that do not have data necessary to calculate a school report card score. This includes the following:
Schools with fewer than 20 full academic year (FAY) students tested in grades 3-11;
Schools without tested grades, including K-2 schools;
New schools.
Norris is an Alternate Accountability school. Annually, Norris submits local data and indicators to gauge student progress. This data indicates if performance is improving/maintaining or declining based on the measures chosen. This results in a rating of either Alternate Rating - Satisfactory Progress or Alternate Rating - Needs Improvement (if the school’s progress is declining).
