The School Grade

How Tichigan compares

A Test scoresB Graduation
Wisconsin school districts we grade (436)Better than 88%
Lower resultsHigher results
Wisconsin towns with similar household incomes (437)Better than 87%
High confidence. Built on 1,243 tested students and a graduating class of 268; ordinary year-to-year swings are unlikely to change it.
How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Wisconsin’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Wisconsin only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
