Notice of Educational Options
THE CEDARBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS
FOR CHILDREN WHO RESIDE IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Cedarburg School District offers students a variety of educational options to children who reside in the District.
The District’s primary educational pathway and instructional program for students involves a progression from 4 year old kindergarten through 12th grade, leading to a high school diploma.
The table below contains links to the District’s most recent accountability reports, as issued by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction under section 115.385 of the state statutes.
*The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has acknowledged the 2016-2017 CHS Report score is a very unique statistical anomaly and believes that this score does not represent the overall performance of our high school. This anomaly was caused by a lack of graduation rate gap score due to small group size. Using a Graduation Rate Gap Score similar to the last 3 years, CHS would earn the rating of 84.6 and Significantly Exceeds Expectations again this year which is more representative of our school performance. This adjusted score would place CHS as one of the top public high schools in the state.

-
Early childhood programming for students who are at least 3 years old, but not school age;
