My school is Winnequah ! I am MOST impressed with the teachers and the special attention they give to the students....from the classroom to the special extra's they provide for the students !!


Posted January 2, 2010

This is a wonderful school. Attention to needs of students is terrific. Fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Grace is a kind and caring lady who motivates the children and genuinely cares about their progress.

Nichols is a delightful little place. In the '07-'08 school year it will be moving to a newly remodeled building but will have the same principal and will be adding a grade (so it will be 3-6 instead of 3-5). No school is perfect, but the staff is kind, generous and educated.

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.

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.
