Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam
School Year 2008-2009


Annually, students across the Archdiocese of Milwaukee participate in the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE) in November and the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) in March. Our SKDS fourth and eighth graders took the WKCE along with other Wisconsin students and our first, third, fifth and seventh graders took the ITBS. Following are the school wide results.

ADVANCED = Students demonstrate in-depth understanding of the academic knowledge & skills tested at that grade level.
PROFICIENT = Students demonstrate competency in the academic knowledge and skills tested at that grade level.
BASIC = Students demonstrate some academic knowledge and skills tested at that grade level.
MINIMAL PERFORMANCE = Students demonstrate very limited
academic knowledge and skills tested at that grade level.

Combined Proficient/Advanced percentages are:

1ST GRADE = 18 Students
(First grade is tested in the core areas only.)
Reading = 45%; Language = 55%; Math = 50%
