We are new to the area and must say could not be happier. Coming from the Chicago region we were use to much more "red tape" in our kid's education. It's very refreshing to speak to teachers / staff quickly and without drama. Yes, it's smaller to what we were used to but my children are very happy. Just wish they had more after school programs. Keep up the great work!!

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.
