Easton’s public schools outscore 66% of Wisconsin districts

Math proficiency in Easton’s districts is 45%, above the Wisconsin average (39%). The grade covers the public school district serving Easton, 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.

From Wisconsin state tests taken in spring 2022, when 98% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
