Data Reporting

The Library and Statistical Information Center gathers data from public school districts and schools, private schools, etc. For a list of reports and due dates see the Data Reporting Schedule.

Labels

Our label service is no longer available. Label files in Excel format are now available on this website for commonly requested school contacts: public school districts, public and private schools, CESAs, and special education directors. Also available are school addresses (as of September 2003) for selected public school staff, i.e. teachers, guidance counselors, school psychologists, etc. For more details see Label Files.

DPI Library Services

The DPI Professional Library is the Department of Public Instruction's center for information and referral on education and library science topics.

School Performance Report

By Wisconsin statute, schools must publish school and district "report cards". Those local reports are summarized in the state School Performance Report. Data is collected on attendance, suspensions, expulsions, retentions, dropouts, graduates, truants, postgraduate follow-up, extra/co-curricular participation, and community activities.

Statistical Data

Most data requests can be answered using the standard reports on our Statistical Data and Reports page. This page contains information on public enrollments, nonpublic enrollments, school staff and salary data, the public school calendar, and program information (for example, block scheduling, kindergarten programs, etc.) Statistics and reports published by other DPI teams appear on DPI's Statistics and Reports page. If you need additional assistance, contact the Education Statistics Helpline at 608-267-3166.
