Assessment Information
The United States Department of Education, the State of Wisconsin, and the Mineral Point Unified School District each require a variety of assessments for a variety of purposes. Below is a list of the assessments, including their subject matter, purpose, mandate, and, if possible, the time spent scheduling and administering the assessment, as well as distributing the results.
Please direct any questions you have on these or other assessments to our District Assessment Coordinator: Angela Klein (angela.klein@mp.k12.wi.us)

WISEdash Public Portal is a data portal that uses “dashboards,” or visual collections of graphs and tables, to provide multi-year education data about Wisconsin schools. WISEdash Public Portal displays certified data from multiple years. You can group and filter the data by a variety of demographics including grade level, gender, race/ethnicity, economic status, disability, English proficiency, and migrant status. The WISEdash Public Portal displays information broken down by school, district, or the entire state. Data download files are also available.
WISEdash Public Portal is available to the general public, so student data is redacted to protect students’ identities. No personally identifiable information (PII) is visible.
As a public reporting tool, WISEdash is used by districts, schools, parents, researchers, media, and other community members to view data published by DPI.
The WISEdash Public Portal is the front door for parents and community members to discover all types of data about Wisconsin schools and districts.
OPTIONAL ASSESSMENT OPT OUT
You have the right to know about the mandated assessments your child participates in. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that any school district receiving Title I funds must notify parents that they may request, and the district will provide the parents on request (and promptly), information regarding any State or local educational agency policy regarding student participation in any assessment mandated by ESSA, the State or district.
The Mineral Point Unified School District Assessment Policy 346 states all students shall participate in State-wide and District-wide assessments, and any student with a disability shall be provided appropriate accommodation and/or alternate assessments where necessary as indicated in the student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan.
Parental Opt Out of Assessments (students) The Board shall excuse any student from the State examination administered in the 3rd-11th grade. To opt out of these examinations, the student’s parent must submit a written statement to the District Assessment Coordinator stating that the parent is opting out of the examination(s).
