11th annual comparative analysis
of the Racine Unified School District
October, 2008

This is the 11th annual report on conditions affecting the Racine Unified School District (RUSD). This year, our analysis again focuses on the long-term historical trends in RUSD. The analysis compares RUSD to nine peer school districts and the State of Wisconsin. RUSD peer districts are Wisconsin's largest (MPS is not included) and their enrollments are similar to the enrollment in Racine. We have grouped the findings in the report based on RUSD quality objective measures: student achievement, student engagement, and operational efficiency. Student achievement includes test scores and graduation rates; student engagement includes attendance and behavior; and operational efficiency includes finance data.
