How can you learn more about schools and school districts in the Madison and Dane County area? The report card system put forward by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is one online tool that can help you with your research. As you'll see from the example below, the DPI report cards offer comparative data about school and school district performance.

How to use the school report card system

First, go to the report system web page here:

Then select a school district and school that you'd like to review. In this example we've selected Northside Elementary in the Middleton-Cross Plains School District. 

The DPI website will produce a report for your selected school which you can download
