SIS Receives "Exceeds Expectations"

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) released District and School Report Cards for public viewing on Tuesday, November 13th. As the Report Card Scores indicate below, Shorewood Intermediate School was rated as “Exceeds Expectations.”

 

 

Shorewood Intermediate School scored higher than the State averages in the areas of “Student Achievement,” “Closing Gaps,” and “On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness.” SIS’s state report card score grew 4.2 points from last year. The most significant area of growth was in the area of “Closing Gaps,” which is a measurement of how much a school is closing academic achievement gaps within student subgroups.

In looking at the school report card, SIS will focus efforts on “School Growth.” This is an area that measures how rapidly students are gaining knowledge and skills from year to year. While students made expected progress in the area of Mathematics, subgroups did not make expected progress in the area of English Language Arts. Shorewood Intermediate School teachers recently completed a curriculum mapping exercise in 7-12 English Language Arts courses utilizing Wisconsin Standards and Social Justice Standards to increase skill alignment. This updated curriculum will be implemented during the 2018-19 school year.

If you are interested in more information about Shorewood’s report cards, please attend the November 27th School Board meeting where the Director of Curriculum & Instruction will be presenting the report cards to the board.
