Report Cards for Schools

Report cards are as a part of school as pencils and chalkboards. The goal of the report card is to give parents an idea of where their students are in their studies and an early warning sign that they might be struggling in a subject and need some help. Schools and school districts have report cards too – for many of the same reasons. In this episode, we’re going to hear from some of the people who report the data back to the state, and who also use that data to improve how our schools operate. We’ll also hear from superintendent Deidre Roemer about some system-wide changes to help South Milwaukee schools improve for students – and on the report card.
