Muskego education is absolutely terrible. I've taught at many schools and I love Muskego, but the education and attitudes of the teachers is unbelievable. I quit my job as a 5th garde teacher there due to a job offer at Arrowhead. The quality and attitude at my new school overcomes the muskego education by leaps and bounds.

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.
