The West Bend School District, as required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides a Balanced Assessment System which includes both Local Assessments and State Assessments.
Local Assessments are used to get baseline information for teachers to inform instruction. They also help teachers to monitor progress throughout the year. The district uses data to measure program effectiveness, to monitor gaps, and to provide intervention and enrichment for students. State Assessments are summative and are typically administered near the end of the school year. State Assessment data is used in Federal and State Accountability such as District Report Cards, School Report Cards, and ESSA.
