I taught in Middleton as student teacher and also taught in Middleton and Madison area schools as well. It depends on what grade school you are looking. If you are looking at high schools, the clubs and extra curriculum is big one and that again what your children’s interests are? My son graduated from High school two years back and I can tell you more about the difference. However Verona, Middleton both has good schools.
Now you have to analyze which fits best for you, if you need help in that

Brian, I taught in Verona and coached in Middleton. I'd love to introduce you to resources to help you make your decision, yet its a hard one to make from a distance! Will you be visiting soon? I'd love to show you around each community as I think the community can tell you much about a school district aside from numbers and graphs. Email me at karathomas@kw.com to see what we can set you up with!

Picking a school is always a personal choice based on many factors. If you go just by the numbers, and not everything else that goes into making a good school, Middleton has higher test scores. It is also a little bigger school, with all of the advantages and disadvantages that go with that. I used to teach in Middleton, and always thought it was of very high quality. Verona is growing faster than Middleton, and it is starting to attract a lot of young families. Both schools are excellent, and I would base which one my child attends on where I am going to be working.
