This is a good school. We just moved in to the area and the children adjusted very well. Both students and teachers made this an enjoyable year for the children. My only issue has been with extracurricular activities there is a extra fee for each activity that they have joined! This fee is $50.00 per activity. Which limited them from join everything that they wanted to. Being from a larger area previously we never had such fees before.

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.
