Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I think the enrollment process is questionable. My child have been there for three years and over half of the students parents are MPS teachers or principals. The school is not what I thought it was going to be when I worked to hard to get my child in. The classes have 32 kids in them so the bad kids get all the attention.

I attented this school back in the 90's and I loved it I cant wait for my son to attend!

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.

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!

It's a great school with lots of opportunities for kids to find their talents
—Submitted by a parent
one of the best public elementary school in the nation

Golda Meir is definitely a great school. My daughter goes there. What I think makes it a great school is the ethnicity mix in the student population. Students are exposed to different cultures and they learn from each other. Teachers provide multiple field trips that enhance what is learned in the classroom. This year my daughter will go on a class trip to Virginia. This will be a great experience for her. I also think Meir is a great school because of the school projects students are required to complete. They are required to participate in state-wide writing contests and do several hands on projects that require critical thinking. This is why Meir is a great school and I'm thrilled that my daughter attends such a quality learning environment.

This is a fantastic school and I am so thankful that my son has had the good fortune to attend. The school is multi cultural and does a great job utilizing the resources and community for extended activities. We have been thrilled with the expansion to middle school and I have full confidence that he will be more than prepared for high school in a year and a half.
—Submitted by a parent
Meir school is a wonderful place. My daughter has been at this school for 2 years and loves it. She is challenged everyday and taught to do her best. The parent involvement in this school is exceptional. I am truly glad that my daughter had a chance to go to this school.

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.

This school's GreatSchools Rating is based on academics (90%) and climate (10%). The academic rating measures students' test scores, academic growth and college readiness. The climate rating measures safety, cleanliness, parent involvement and more.
Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.
*Test scores are based on the 2012 WSAS results from the state of Wisconsin.
**The academic growth rating measures how schools affect student test score improvement over time in reading and math. This data is from 2012 and is provided by the Value-Added Research Center and Milwaukee Public Schools. Private school growth data is not included in the rating because it is not comparable with public school results.
This rating encompasses five elements of school climate: safety and cleanliness, respect and relationships, expectations for students, teacher collaboration and support, and parent involvement. This school's climate ratings are the result of GreatSchools' analysis of teacher survey data from the Spring 2012 School Climate Survey developed by Milwaukee Public Schools. Unfortunately, this school didn't provide enough survey responses to generate a climate rating.
