Dane County’s only voucher school is outperforming the rest of the Madison Metropolitan School District on most measures, despite serving a student body that is more diverse and more economically disadvantaged than any other school in the district, according to report cards from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
“LCS is making a difference for low-income minority children in Madison,” says pastor Marcio Sierra, whose Lighthouse Church operates the school. “Our goal is to help lower the achievement gap among minority students and their white counterparts in Madison and this report card shows that we are being successful.”
