Awesome WKCE Test Results Again

The State of WI released this year’s WKCE test results for the tests that all 3rd through 8th grade public school students took last November. Above is a look at our school wide scores and comparative data, which include some of the best MCP scores ever!

We are also proud of the differentiated instruction in our classrooms which has made a dramatic difference in the number of students moving out of the Minimal (lowest) category and the number of students moving into the Advanced (highest) category on the WKCE tests.

Icing on the Cake

• 100% of our 4th grade students scored 100% advanced or proficient on the Social Studies section of the WKCE test.
• 100% of our 8th grade students scored advanced or proficient on the Reading section of the WKCE test.
• After only 8 weeks of Milwaukee College Prep rigor, our Lindsay Heights scholars nearly doubled the percentage of advanced or proficient WKCE scores in Reading and Math.

WKCE Test Results

Milwaukee College Prep has awesome results from the 2008 state Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE) tests. In a state with one of the largest racial achievement gaps in the entire country, our goal is to match or exceed the state averages on the WKCE tests. Our students outperformed their Milwaukee Public School counterparts and their peers around the state on the 2008 statewide tests. In the results below, that goal has been achieved.

The Milwaukee College Prep curriculum is unapologetically college preparatory. An unrelenting focus on academic achievement is our cornerstone.

Getting students to this level of academia is hard work for all involved — parents, teachers, and students. Our school day is up to 60 minutes longer each day than their public school peers and there is homework each night for all students — an average of 2 hours each evening in Middle School. There are no shortcuts to making miracles happen in the classroom.
