NOSD shows improvement in DPI scores

The Northern Ozaukee School District rated a 76.6 overall score in the recently released Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction report cards for the 2017-18 school year, placing it in the Exceeds Expectations category, the second-highest ranking awarded by DPI.

That was the lowest score among area school districts: Cedar Grove-Belgium and Port Washington-Saukville each scored 80.2; Cedarburg 81.8; Grafton, 83.6; and Mequon-Thiensville 87.9.

But it was a “significant improvement” over the district’s previous scores, Superintendent Dave Karrels said.
