Goals

These are seven measurable targets we will meet when our district succeeds on behalf of students. Our goals are ambitious by design. In alignment with the Board’s equity policy, each goal includes an overall measure of excellence and of equity. These measures track the narrowing of disparities in regards to race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

Priority 1: Student Knowledge and Skills

We will prioritize students' development in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills, commonly called 'The Four Cs'. 

And, we'll focus on foundational literacies, knowledge, and skills in the core subjects of Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, Digital Literacy, Financial Literacy and other content areas.

Goal 1: Graduation

By 2028, WCPSS will annually graduate 98% of students prepared to reach their full potential and lead productive lives in a complex and changing world. By 2028, WCPSS will eliminate graduation rate disparities by race, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic status.

The priorities will ensure that we operate efficiently, effectively and sustainably for all students, families and employees. 

Goal 6: Parent and Family Experience
