Test Results Prove WIVA is a Great Public School

Students at Academy Threatened by Union and State Excel


Fourth grade students at the Wisconsin Virtual Academy (WIVA), an online public
school under siege by the state teachers' union and department of education, are among the highest achievers according to the most recent statewide test results.

On Wednesday the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations (WKCE) results for WIVA were released. WIVA joined all the public schools in Wisconsin in taking statewide tests in reading, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies in November of last year. Wednesday's findings show WIVA fourth graders' scores were phenomenal.







   WIVA Statewide Average
Reading   91 82
Language Arts   85 79
Mathematics   73 72
Science   90 78
Social Studies   93 91
