The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has issued a School Report Card for your child’s school and for every public school in Wisconsin. The School Report Card will help parents understand how their child’s school is doing and where it can improve. The new report cards will help all Wisconsin public schools get a better picture of how well they help children learn, advance to the next grade, and graduate ready for college and career. Our goal is to help every student in a Wisconsin school succeed, graduate, and be ready to pursue further education and a career.
Educational Programming
The comprehensive curriculum at the elementary level provides opportunities for students to meet Wisconsin Model Academic Standards in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science as well as art, music, physical education, information and technology literacy, research and inquiry. The Time 4 learning Charter School offers pre-school experiences to four-year old children.
At the middle and high school level, students have multiple pathways to meeting graduation requirements and preparing for the next step. Opportunities include Advanced Placement offerings, various vocational opportunities through a consortium with MATC, support through at-risk and special education programming, quality experiences in theater, music, digital productions, and art, three foreign languages, many math courses designed to meet students’ needs, student publications, internships and mentorships, and health and wellness offerings in both physical education and FACE.
Beyond the classroom, students may get involved in a broad range of sports, fine arts, clubs, and activities. All grade levels participate in service-learning opportunities within the community.
Achievement
Greendale Schools enjoys an excellent reputation and consistently scores high on surveys and comparisons of school districts. Newsweek has ranked Greendale High School in the top 5% of U.S. public high schools each year since 2006. Greendale High is ranked among the top U.S. public high schools according to “The High School Challenge” published by the Washington Post
Over 90% percent of Greendale High School graduates continue on to four-year colleges and technical schools or two year colleges.

-
Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) at grades 3-11 in ELA and Mathematics, at grades 4 and 8 - 11 in Science, and at grades 4, 8, and 10 in Social Studies
-
ACT Aspire at grades 9 & 10
-
The ACT with Writing at grade 11 for Reading, English, Mathematics, Science, and Writing
