Eagle’s public schools outscore 86% of Wisconsin districts

In Eagle, 56% of tested students read at a proficient level, above the Wisconsin average (38%). The grade covers the two public school districts serving Eagle, 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.
