My daughter loves this school. There is a true sense of community within this school--older students are friends with the younger students and I think that is highly unique and beneficial for a comfortable learning environment for everyone. This school has smaller class sizes and teachers are very professional yet personable. This school has an afterschool program that is very affordable-even free if you are lower income-which allows for working families to finish their workday without having to worry about childcare every day after school. They take field trips,help w/school work,learn foreign language, get nutrition lessons, and spend time with their friends. Our PTA is excellent at fundraising funds to finance field trips for the students and host a FREE carnival,a picnic at both the beginning and end of the schoolyear,and monthly family nights to bring families together to meet other families and just have a great time. Highly Recommend!!

I went to this school. I had the greatest experience! I started LSE in 4th grade. I had the most wonderful teachers! I learned so much... in the 3 years I was there. The staff was so great. I can't wait till my kids can go there. And I know they will have the same great teachers, help, and love that I did! I love you guys and now being up that SHS I miss you all so much. I might just have to come out and vist! See you guys around. June 1,2004 Sarah A. Stariha Graduated 6th Grade: in 2001

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.
