AASD student demographics
How do our students perform?
Think about the above statistics and how they relate to the successful passage of both referendum questions.
Think about the about the opportunity for our students to improve and be successful - increase graduation rates, improve test scores, enter post-high school education, or find a job. Isn't that what we encourage our kids to do everyday? Let's show them we want them to have the proper tools; to be in a position to succeed.
The introdution of new technology, the updating of facilities and the deployment of new equipment will undoubtedly enhance our students' education experience and push the needle on the above statistics even higher; all while attaining their education in a safe and secure environment. That is something to value. That is something to continue to be proud of in Appleton.
Let's keep improving.
