Three AASD Schools Named Wisconsin High Impact Schools

The Appleton Area School District is proud to announce that Badger Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Stephen Foster Elementary Charter School have each been recognized as 2023–24 Wisconsin Schools of Recognition – High Impact Schools by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

This distinguished honor celebrates schools that serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and demonstrate above-average academic achievement when compared to similarly situated schools across the state.

As Title I schools, Badger, Jefferson, and Foster exemplify what is possible when dedicated educators, engaged families, and resilient students come together in pursuit of equity and excellence. Their recognition reflects not only impressive student outcomes, but also the powerful culture of learning, support, and opportunity cultivated within each school.

We congratulate the students, staff, and families of Badger, Jefferson, and Foster on this well-earned recognition. Your work is an inspiration to our entire district.
