A parent couldn't ask for a better environment to have their kids learn in. All students are given the level of attention and instruction to help them succeed. Caledonia's high state test scores reflect the level of education that these children are receiving. If a student is having difficulty, the classmates are understanding willing to help in any way possible. If you want your children to learn values along with the regular curriculum, a rural school is the way to go.

Caledonia is a great school. You can tell the teachers and staff go above and beyond what is required of them and really enjoy what they do. I could not ask for a better place for my children to begin their early years of schooling!

Caledonia School is a wonderful experience for any child K-6. The school has a warm caring atmosphere, children feel safe because of its size. Smaller numbers of students in the classrooms help every type of learner to suceed. Caledonia has many different experiences to offer through their curriculum and their excellent teaching staff. I would highly recommend any parent to visit the school and see for themselves the opportunities a small school has to offer. I was brought up in a very large school and teach in a larger school and am so happy my daughter has the experience of a small rural school.

I love having my kids go to Caledonia. It is nice to know that they have a one-on-one chance to do the best they can. It is a great school!

Caledonia Elementary School provides a wonderful learning atmosphere for elementary students. The small class sizes allow for students to receive the quality education that they deserve, with the advantage that students will not 'slip throught the cracks' as it sometimes happens in larger classrooms. If a student requires additional help with a subject, the teachers recognize these areas that could use improvement and make a special effort to make sure the student gets back on track in a timely fashion, vs. having these problems esculate over time and go from being a small problem to a problem that is very very difficult to resolve. In addition, Caledonia offers multi-age classrooms, so Kindergarteners are exposed to a bit of what the 1st graders are learning, etc. Caledonia provides a 'family' atmosphere where the Kindergarten students play right along with the 6th Graders! Wonderful School! I can't say enough about it! Come see for yourself!

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.
