Belgium’s public schools outscore 88% of Wisconsin districts

In Belgium, 62% of tested students are proficient in math, above the Wisconsin average (39%). The grade covers the public school district serving Belgium, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Wisconsin, not nationally.
