The School District of the Menomonie Area is pleased to announce that ALL SDMA schools achieved a performance rating of “Meets Expectations” or “Exceeds Expectations” on the Wisconsin School Report Cards released last week by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI).

• River Heights Elementary - Exceeds Expectations 

• Wakanda Elementary - Meets Expectations 

• Menomonie Middle School - Exceeds Expectations

Significant Improvement Across the District 

River Heights Elementary and Menomonie Middle School both moved up one full performance category, joining Knapp and Oaklawn Elementary Schools with overall ratings of “Exceeds Expectations”. Menomonie High School achieved the district’s largest score increase, improving its overall score by 9.3 points compared to the prior year. Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Brian Seguin credits these results to the purposeful and concentrated efforts of students and staff at all levels. 

Wisconsin School Report Cards are one of many important measures used to track student success in the SDMA. The report cards are issued annually and include academic achievement and growth data from multiple years, along with student engagement and postsecondary readiness measures. State report cards for each school can be accessed on the SDMA website and in this year's required notice of School Accountability Performance Data and Educational Options.
