UW-Madison education experts also noted the limitations of the report cards, particularly that accountability scores correlate strongly with the percentage of low-income students in a school or district. ?This report card is limited in it can only use the data we have and we don?t have perfect data to do really good value-added assessments,? said Julie Underwood, dean of the UW-Madison School of Education. ?Just saying to a district you have a lot of high-needs students is not very useful.?
