My daughter currently attend this school. The administration team, staff and student teachers are very caring and want the best for their students. It is a fairy difficult process of getting your child into the school. I had a principal recommendation ; 2 teacher recommendations; a school psychologist i.q test done; WKCE/WSAS submitted; application, writing sample submitted and a child/parent interview was conducted. The environment is unlike any other school I have been too. Nearly all the students want to learn; their parents want their children to learn; and they are supportive of their children and school. Keep up the great job!

At Golda, you find an awesome trio of dedicated administrators, faculty and students as it relates to academics and extracurricular activities. Parents are given numerous opportunities to be involved. A great sense of community and teamwork is instilled in students. My family is very proud to be part of such a great school!

Golda Meir is an excellent school! I believe it is one of the best schools (both public and private) in Milwaukee. Students are challenged with curriculum and encouraged to be critical thinkers. The school encourages creativity in all aspects. I really enjoyed the winter program in December. The teachers are dedicated and professional. (*please note that I actually spelled really and dedicated correctly-unlike the parent comment from September 20th.) I could not imagine sending my son to a different school!

I found out about this school before I thought about having kids. I now have my daughter there (7thgr.), my soon to be 3rd grader will be attending and when my 4y/o is of age he will be attending. This school staff is so well equipped and involved that the only way your child will do poorly is if you are not involved. This is definitely a parent involvement school w/alot of projects and trips.

I have been very impressed with Golda Meir since I found out about the school. What I like most is that they encourage the kids to find there talents in education and extra-curricular activites.

Golda Meir is no longer the best of the best. It is now whos who in Milwaukee (parents). Adding Middle school wasn't the best idea. Now siblings that don't qualify are there and bring the school down. The kids that realy should be there for Middle school aren't because the siblings come first. In my son's grade alone there were 25 kids that I knew of that had a sibling in a lower grade or higher. When you have a class of 30 that doesn't leave much room. Even increasing to 60 students per grade for middle school didn't realy help. 3-5 is an excellent program, Middle has a way to go. Wished we had gone a different route for Middle school but at the time we thought this was the best place. The staff tries hard and are dedectated but the turn over is way to high for a "gem"

Golda is going down the tubes fast. I've been involved for only about 5 years, but in that time, the quality of the staff gone downhill (esp. with all the seemingly unnecessary "cuts" from this last year), and under the guise of presenting a gender balanced, racially and socio-economically diverse student body, they're turning this place into a total joke and it's at the cost of having qualified students that actually want to be there. When applying, know that you're actually trying to get into a "program" and NOT a "school", so fair, rational admittance guidelines don't seem to apply here. The same thing is happening here that went down at King in the last 15 years; by being so focused on creating some kind of forced "equality", they're bending the rules to fill the superficial mold they're creating. Admittance requirements and the curriculum have been majorly DUMBED DOWN here. SAD!
