October 2025 WISE Insights: Special Edition, WISEdash Student Growth Percentiles and Target Group Preview Dashboards

Student Growth Percentiles and Target Group Preview Dashboards

We have two WISEdash for Districts announcements to share with you today:

Target Group Preview Dashboard Updated for 2025-26

This Target Group Preview Dashboard is now available for 2025-26, showing the likelihood of students appearing in the target group of the 2025-26 report cards, based on 2025 assessment results. Please note that this dashboard is a “forward facing” tool used to inform continuous improvement efforts, so it does not reflect target group students found in the 2024-25 report cards.

The design of the Target Group Outcomes priority area of the report cards helps schools see their own “gaps” between students scoring in the lowest quartile and the rest of their student body. To support schools and districts in identifying and serving their lowest-performing students, WISEdash for Districts securely displays students who are likely to be in the target group for future report cards at both the district-level and the school-level. This dashboard can be located by clicking:

1. Dashboards
2. Early Warning
3. Report Card: Target Group

WISEdash will update this data weekly from now through the December Snapshot as enrollment numbers stabilize. For more information, please see the WISEdash for Districts - Target Group Preview Dashboard webpage.

Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) are now available for 2024-25

WISEdash calculates SGP data by comparing the amount of academic progress a student has made over one year to the amount of academic progress made by other Wisconsin students with similar performance histories on annual statewide assessments.

Data for 2024-25 can be located by clicking:

1. Dashboards
2. Topics
3. Growth:
   • Student Growth Percentile – All Subgroups
   • Student Growth Percentile by School
   • SGP Level by Group

You can find more information on the WISEdash for Districts – Growth Dashboards webpage.
