Milestones for Post-Secondary Success

As students move through their 4K-12 academic careers, they strive for and reach a number of key milestones. We have identified seven milestones that benchmark our efforts to guide our efforts in ensuring that all students will experience college and future career success. Our Milestones for Post-Secondary Success include measurable outcomes that allow us to monitor student progress in preparing for post-secondary success. Our goal is that when students graduate from high school, they have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in post-secondary education. Each milestone is rigorous, encouraging our students to develop higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills.

2020-21 Summary of DPI Report Card Changes

Changes to the Report Card Scoring System

As part of the state accountability system, the DPI produces report cards for every publicly funded school and district in Wisconsin. The current school report card is primarily based on last year’s performance during the 2020-21 school year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DPI encourages caution when interpreting scores and ratings on the 2020-21 report cards. New in 2021, the following adjustments were made to the scoring system used in created the report cards:

Adjustment to the Overall Score Rating
Achievement data is based on data from 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2020-21 school years
Closing Gaps now referred to as Target Group Outcomes (focusing on a single target group of students, composed of students in the bottom 25% based on the prior year's test results, which were from the 2018-2019 school year)
No deductions for not meeting dropout and absenteeism specific rates

Four Priority Areas

Though these report cards do not demonstrate the sole measure of student achievement in MTSD, they are a resource the district uses to reflect on our strengths and areas for improvement. They also provide a helpful point of comparison against other comparable Wisconsin public school districts. At the foundation of the report cards are four priority areas. Schools and districts receive a score for each priority area:

Achievement - proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics on the annual state assessments
Growth - year-to-year progress in ELA and math achievement
Target Group Outcomes - outcomes for students with the lowest test scores: the Target Group
On-Track to Graduation - reliable predictors of how successfully students are progressing toward completing their K-12 education
