WKCE/WAA-SwD Data and Results

Results of statewide achievement tests known as the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations (WKCE) and Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students with Disabilities (WAA-SwD) may be viewed or downloaded from this site. The WKCE measures achievement in reading, language, mathematics, science, and social studies using multiple-choice and short-answer questions. Students also provide a rough draft writing sample. The reading and mathematics tests are given annually to students in grades three through eight and ten while the language, science, social studies, and writing assessments are also given annually to students in grades four, eight, and ten. The WAA-SwD measures achievement in reading and mathematics for grades 3-8 and 10 and science in 4, 8, and 10. Language Arts/writing and social studies are assessed through a teacher rater form and reported with scores from the WAA-SwD.
