I love the teachers and there is no other school I would rather go to~

Blair-Taylor High School is average at best. Great people & kids in the school district. Politcal leadership at the top & sub-par math program.

Posted November 16, 2005

This school is the best school in the whole world. No one can go wrong picking this shcool. Every one that goes here will love it, and will never want to move. The towns/citys (blair and taylor) are so nice also, and evryone here is really cool. All the students will love this school. Even their parents will love this school. The whole blair tayor school district is that way. And the high school basketball team went to state quite a bit.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wisconsin used the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), which includes the WKCE and WAA, to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in math and reading, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in language arts, science and social studies. The WSAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wisconsin. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level. In private schools, only voucher program participants are tested.

Subgroup scores for each school are only reported for students who were enrolled as of the fall enrollment count. The All students score includes results for all students who took the test, regardless of when they first enrolled in the school.
