Outstanding school with the latest technologies, and fantastic teachers that really care about the kids. Couldn't be happier.

Quality of academics: average at best. This school is a very small community elementary school and seems to prize field trips, ice cream and junk food coupons above hard academics. Very little new material is covered from one year to the next. There is NO flexibility for students with learning differences--everyone goes through the same cookie cutter curriculum regardless of his/her needs. Students are not well recognized for academic achievement, as the school would prefer to operate with a sort of phony egalitarianism, rewarding mediocre students the same as they would those who are outstanding (on the silly pretext that singling people out for achievement would make the rest of the students 'feel bad' instead of inspiring them to a greater standard). Slightly better than daycare.

This school is AWESOME. The teachers are awesome and all of the staff is awesome. I love sending my kids to school every day because everything about this school works together with the parents and children.

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.
