Love the school, but upset that when you move from the area of brown deer, the students are not allowed the option to continue at brown deer school system.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 7, 2007

The students really do respect each others' diversity. It is a very unique school because the parents' are committed to the school and the extra curricular activities are highly supported by the community. Drama could be improved, but the new theater should allow for a district wide program by 2008! AP courses are received well by students. Concern about quality of teaching lead to a close watch and testing of teachers, with good results. School spirit among the student body is very high, with many studnets attending games and pep assembly. PTO is poorly attended. Athletic booster club is fair in membership as well as music booster. Swim team is fantastic. Football is #1 sport. Then basketball.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. If there are fewer than 5 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group. 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.
