We have been increasingly disappointed with Summit View. Our daughter's kindergarten teacher appears frazzled and disorganization most of the time. They overemphasize negative behavior rather than encouraging positive choice making. Our daughter gained more in another district's 4K program - we almost feel the 5k year at SV has been steps backward. Front desk staff is disengaged and impolite. The principal is nice, hence the 3 starts. The hot lunch program differs from the selections they allow us to pick for her each day. Overall, did not meet our expectations.

Love the school so far! My daughter has had great experiences in the two years that she has been here.

This is a good school if your child does not need extra help to succeed. I am a very involved parent and do not expect the school to do it all, yet I basically was told when I requested the school to evaluate my son (via IDEA, IEP, 501 plan) that unless he is FAILING no additional help will be provided. So with that said ... be prepared that unless your child is FAILING, do not expect this school's administration to provide your child extra assistance. No, they would rather your child FAIL first (thus plummeting their self esteem and of course once that happens, it is that much harder for your child to believe they are smart and can succeed). Sadly, I do not believe other schools in Waukesha would be any different. It's all about the money and no longer about the children. Case in point ... the doctor I met with to evaluate my child (a child neurologist) was boggled on why he wasn't already getting help. His pediatrician said the same thing. It was also stated by medical professionals that if I expect any help from Waukesha that I'd be better off getting a lawyer. Why should I have to do that, I ask? Why can't our schools just be expected to do the right thing?

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.
