I have 2 kids at Suring elementary and both kids enjoy the small classes and friendly, courteous staff. For a small school Suring has a well-rounded cirriculum. The school offers both academic and athletic opportunities for all age kids. I have found the staff to be very professional and direct in dealing with parents. When there is a problem the parents are notified quickly and the problem is followed up on. The community is very supportive of the school. Overall it's a very positive environment.

I really don't like what this school has become since the new principal came into power. I think things have gotten much worse as far as behavior and things need to change drastically.

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.
