My daughter is a 5th grader at Glendale and has attended since Kindergarten. She loves her school! Her teachers have always set the bar high and encouraged her to push her comfort zone and reach even higher. The past and present principals of this school have made it a point to know the names of each and every student, as well as their parents, which lends a very personal touch to the learning experience! The diversity in the student population as well as in the teaching staff is phenomenal. The emphasis on cultural diversity and bilingual classrooms have made this enviornment one that celebrates peoples differences and encouraged the students to open their minds to new experiences. This is a wonderful school which is helping to prepare my daughter for a future of diversity, acceptance and the challenges of higher learning!

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.
