For the 2023-2024 academic year, completed 2022 tax Information & proof of residency is needed to complete enrollment eligibility process for new applicants.
Income eligibility set by the state program is based on a family's Adjusted Gross Income. Income Guideline Chart will be published when it becomes available. If you are income eligible, below are the options to determine income:
·DPI Method
Complete your income tax for 2022, and enter the adjusted gross income (AGI) on the WPCP application. Bring a SIGNED copy of your tax form to NDA for reference.
·DOR Method
On the WPCP application, click to allow the Department of Revenue (DOR) to determine your income eligibility. If 2022 tax information has not been submitted, 2021 data will be used.
Proof of residency is required to complete the WPCP application. Accepted documents for proof of residency include:
Preferred (if applicable) - Property Tax Statement
Current Wage Statement (can be year end W2)

Lottery System
WPCP applicants are chosen by a lottery system performed by the Department of Public Instruction. Vouchers are paid to NDA and cover 100% of tuition. The lottery will take place in late May/early June.
Note: The state of Wisconsin is in charge of the lottery selection process. It does give consideration to siblings of current WPCP students who are already attending our school. The full application process, including proof of income and residence, will need to be completed.
Returning WPCP Participants
The State of Wisconsin does require current WPCP participants to complete a simplified application that does not require filing of financial information. Families will still need to prove their residency and must complete this re-application process within the posted enrollment window.
Proof of residency is required for the returning WPCP application. Accepted documents for proof of residency include:
Preferred (if applicable) - Property Tax Statement
Current Wage Statement (can be year end W2)

DPI School Report Card
State law (Act 55) specifies that, annually, every public school, including charter schools, and each private school participating in a Choice program is to provide parents with a copy of DPI report card and their educational options. The DPI report card represents incomplete data. Notre Dame Academy's complete report card is linked below.
Notre Dame Academy School Report Card
The Notre Dame Academy Report Card presents comprehensive longitudinal data in a number of areas that are regularly monitored. The information is the result of systematic, robust processes of data collection and analysis. Conclusions based on the consistent review of both academic and demographic student data are used to inform decision making and school improvement.
NDA uses the STAR 360 suite of tests, administered to students grades 9-11 three times a year. STAR reading and math tests are nationally normed and aligned with the ACT. STAR scores are used along with attendance and course enrollment to monitor student achievement, growth and college and career readiness.
