District Scorecard

The School District of River Falls’ District Scorecard serves as a tool to track the progress towards goals set by the 2022-27 Strategic Plan. The benchmarks reflect our high expectations for academic growth, student engagement, and employee satisfaction. Our intent is to meet or exceed these targets, but if we fall short, we are committed to identifying new lead measures that will drive change. This pursuit is ongoing and continuous. 

 

Critical Performance Indicators measure what matters most to our district. Our commitment to excellence in learning, working, and community connections is reflected in our rigorous benchmarks.
