DPI to release Spring Exam Results
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | October 7, 2024
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will release updated state test scores tomorrow. Below is a description from DPI on the standard-setting process to update the Forward exam:
The update to the Forward test design also required the department to reestablish achievement benchmarks. In June 2024, a diverse group of 88 educators participated in a standard-setting meeting. This group included mathematics and reading specialists, classroom teachers, school principals, curriculum and instruction coordinators and specialists, interventionists, instructional coaches, gifted and advanced coordinators, and CESA staff. Those who participated in this meeting represented all areas of the state – representatives from all 12 of Wisconsin’s CESAs, the five largest school districts, private Choice schools, and rural, suburban, and urban school districts. A similar process last took place in June 2016 after the previous Forward ELA and mathematics assessments were administered for the first time

DPI will publicly release the results of the exams tomorrow at 9:30. It is important to note that it will be difficult to make year-to-year comparisons of your school’s data due to these changes. The spring exam is a snapshot of student achievement and it is important to highlight that schools use multiple metrics to determine students’ success. Additional information will be forthcoming, following the official release by DPI.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
