Wisconsin Promise Schools of Recognition

Overview

Since 2003, DPI has recognized schools which have, under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, met the following criteria:

• Are Title I-eligible schools;
• Are in the top quartile of the state for the percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch;
• Have above-average student academic performance on WKCE test scores (Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam) in reading and mathematics when compared to similar schools; and
• Have met AYP (adequate yearly progress) indicators for two or more consecutive years.

The schools which meet the criteria above are honored at a Wisconsin Promise Schools of Recognition ceremony held annually at the State Capitol in Madison, WI.

In 2009, the Wisconsin Promise Schools of Recognition Program will take place on October 20.
