ABOUT THE TEST DATA: Test scores and student data in this report were compiled from several sources. The state Department of Public Instruction (DPI) tabulates data from Wisconsin school districts to determine school, district and state averages. Charts with statewide comparisons use the most recent data available from DPI. In addition to overall results published in this document, the district provides more extensive data that separates achievement of subgroups. This “disaggregated data” and other information regarding Open Enrollment, highly qualified staffing and special education are available on the district website at www.hamilton.k12.wi.us. Those who do not have access to the Internet may obtain the information by calling the Public Information Office at (262) 246-1973 x1100. Distributed December 2016.
DISTRICT DISTINGUISHED FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCEHamilton School District’s recent performance on the Wisconsin State Report Card once again was among the highest in the state and was the highest in Waukesha County. Hamilton ranked 10th among Wisconsin’s 367 K-12 school districts and was one of only 36 districts to earn the top designation of “significantly exceeds” expectations for performance.
School Report Cards are based on four priority areas: student achievement in English-language arts and mathematics; student growth; closing gaps between student populations; and measures of readiness for graduation and postsecondary success.
Hamilton’s student achievement scores were most impressive. Among the 367 K-12 school districts in the Wisconsin, Hamilton: • tied for third highest mathematics score; • had the fourth highest overall student achievement score; and • was fifth highest in English-language arts results.
The strong achievement on the new Wisconsin Forward Exam was a significant factor in the district’s successful school report card. The district topped statewide averages by 19 - 27 percentage points and outperformed most Waukesha County school districts in all subject areas.
Shown in the tables on the on a subsequent page are mathematics and English-language arts results from the 2015-16 Forward Exam. The Forward Exam, like the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam which it replaced, is a criterion-referenced system in which a standard is set and scores reflect the percentage of students who achieve at that level. The four categories of proficiency are minimal, basic, proficient and advanced. The numbers reflect the percentage of students who achieved at the proficient and advanced levels.
Students in grades 3-8 were tested in mathematics and English-language arts. In addition, students in grades 4 and 8 were tested in science, and students in grades 4, 8 and 10 in social studies.
• More than 69 percent of Hamilton students were proficient or advanced in English-language arts compared to 42.5 percent at the state level.
• In mathematics 67.6 percent of Hamilton students were proficient or advanced — 25.3 percentage points higher than the state average.
• Hamilton’s science score of 70.1 percent was 20 percentage points higher than the state average of 50.1 percent.
• The social studies score was 68.9 percent for Hamilton and 49.7 percent statewide.
• Among Waukesha County’s K-12 school districts, Hamilton was the top performer in mathematics, science and English-language arts. It was the third highest for social studies.
Student achievement results are the cumulative effects of sound decisions to increase the rigor of the curriculum and enhance instructional strategies. Initiatives across the district emphasize literacy skills, high quality instruction and targeted, systematic interventions for students who need them.

The Hamilton School District is recognized as a leader in Wisconsin – not only for its high expectations and outstanding academic achievement, but for a caring and supportive community that takes pride in its schools. We produce excellent results while being one of the lowest spending school districts in southeastern Wisconsin.
Our results are driven by our Strategic Plan and the dedicated, committed staff members who live out the district’s belief statements. We believe in supporting student:• ENGAGEMENT - in meaningful, active involvement;• EMPOWERMENT - enabling all to find success; and• ACHIEVEMENT - reaching our highest potential.Our School Board is committed to these beliefs by ensuring that we act in the best interests of our students. We all are dedicated to making a difference every day for each student. Consider the results of this commitment to students and the community:• Among Wisconsin’s 367 K-12 school districts, Hamilton was
rated in the top five on the State Report Card in achievement for math, achievement for English-language arts and overall achievement.
• Hamilton High School consistently is named to prestigious national lists that judge schools for academic rigor and achievement including Newsweek Magazine’s “America’s Best High Schools,” Washington Post’s “America’s Most Challenging High Schools” and the Advanced Placement’s “AP Honor Roll.”• Hamilton’s Aa1 bond rating by Moody’s Investor Services places it in the top five percent
of Wisconsin school districts in terms of financial health.• Hamilton has completed almost $13 million of projects over the last five years without
going to referendum to accommodate increased enrollment.• Since the Seniors & Students Program began, senior volunteers have contributed
approximately 105,000 hours at a monetary value of more than $2.1 million.• The Hamilton Education Foundation has issued more than $1.4 million in grants since it
was established in 1991 as a nonprofit organization.
While we have been successful, we are focused on continuous improvement to ensure that we are creating more opportunities than ever for students to be successful. The opportunities and challenges ahead will invigorate us to find new stepping stones for growth and success.
