IRG STATEMENT: Parents Deserve Honesty on State Report Cards<\/b><\/p>\n

DPI Keeps Changing the Formula, Confusing Parents<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

DELAFIELD, WI:<\/b> State report cards came out today, scoring schools and school districts between 1 and 5 stars for their 2023-2024 performance. These scores come at a time when the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) lowered standards on state exams and changed how the report cards are calculated. IRG has done extensive work exposing how, when, and why those changes occurred in its report, <\/span>Testing Our Patience.<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Statement from IRG Senior Research Director, Quinton Klabon:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cParents expect honesty and consistency about how their children\u2019s schools are doing. Instead, DPI keeps changing the formula. When they change it again in 2025, DPI has to choose: tell parents the truth or keep principals happy by saying most of them \u2018exceed expectations.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
