School is overcrowded. Teachers did not communicate, even via email. Administration bogged down by red tape. Good enough for basic education, but no enrichment or gifted programs. Many parent cliques - not welcoming if you move to area and didn't start with the preschool level.

We are extremely impressed with the communication level we've received so far this year. We are also impressed with our daughter's 2nd grade teacher and the amount of family interaction that supports the PTO at Summit. We are extremely pleased to be a part of this school and the Oconomowoc School District. We came from a school district that didn't have the same level of standard in communications. Although the 4K - 1st grade teachers in our old district were great too.

Summit is such an awesome school! My three kids have had such a wonderful education there. Parent involvement is high in fun PTO functions and volunteering. The teachers really care about the kids and are so receptive to working with the parents. My son with a disability has had so much attention and care at Summit. Such a friendly school environment and wonderful facility, if you don't mind a larger school. I'm so happy that we moved here!

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.
