Wisconsin School Report Cards were released and the Hamilton School District’s achievement once again was strong and among the top 2% in the state. In the category of district achievement score, Hamilton was the seventh highest among Wisconsin’s 367 PreK-12 and K-12 school districts.
“Hamilton continues to perform at an exceptional level and we are extremely proud of this year’s State Report Card results,” said Hamilton School District Superintendent Paul Mielke, Ph.D. “These outcomes reflect the collective commitment of our students, the expertise and dedication of our staff and the unwavering support of our families and community. Together, we’ve built a culture that values continuous improvement and high expectations.”
School Report Cards are based on four priority areas: student achievement in English language arts and mathematics; student growth; target group outcomes for students with the lowest performance; and measures that indicate if students are on track to graduate.
Using all these measures, Hamilton ranked 13th among 367 Wisconsin school districts in overall accountability. The overall accountability score rates schools on a scale of 0 to 100 and places them in one of five categories: significantly exceeds expectations (84-100), exceeds expectations (71-83.9), meets expectations (60-70.9), meets few expectations (49-59.9) and fails to meet expectations (48.9 and below.)
“Hamilton’s success comes from the heart of our classrooms, our teachers,” said Hamilton School District Assistant Superintendent of Teaching & Learning Cathy Drago. “Their commitment to students, supported by our strong community, drives our continued growth and achievement.”
Hamilton excelled in the area of student achievement. Among the 367 PreK-12 and K-12 school districts in the state, Hamilton had the:
- seventh highest district achievement score;
- eighth highest mathematics score; and
- seventh highest English language arts results.
The Hamilton School District received a growth score of 74.6 placing the district 45th out of Wisconsin’s 367 PreK-12 and K-12 school districts. The growth priority area evaluates schools on their students’ growth over time compared to the growth of similar students in other Wisconsin schools. This measure provides information on a school’s contribution to their students’ progress, regardless of the prior achievement level of those students.
The target group outcomes priority area was designed to help focus support on the learners who need it most, while also improving outcomes for all students. This area provides a mini-report card for the lowest performing 25% of students in the district.
