Over nearly three decades, the Public Policy Forum has collected and analyzed education data to report on the demographics, academic performance, and finances of public schools and districts in southeast Wisconsin. This 29th annual public schools report continues that tradition with updated analyses of new data and trends to shed light on the academic successes and challenges in the region. This report comes at a time of significant change and transition for public schools in the state. Recent years have seen the alignment of curricula to the Common Core State Standards adopted by Wisconsin in 2010. Additionally, state assessments have been aligned to National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) achievement levels. Continuing these efforts, the Smarter Balanced Assessment test in mathematics and reading will be administered to students in the 2014-15 school year. Taken together, these initiatives offer the possibility of a more thorough understanding of how effectively Wisconsin public school students are being educated and how their academic achievement could be improved. These analyses provide a detailed look at K-12 school enrollments and student demographics, including breakouts based on race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, Open Enrollment, and the Chapter 220 Student Transfer program. The report also includes a special look at English Language Learners (ELL) and their growing population in southeast Wisconsin districts. Overall, this 2014 examination of public schools in southeast Wisconsin shows that academic achievement for the region as a whole continues to lag that of the state, in large measure because of the challenges faced by the region's largest urban districts. Throughout the region, however, there are also plentiful examples of success and progress, which are highlighted in the detailed, district-by-district data tables. Appended are: (1) Glossary of Terms and (2) Union District Breakdown.
