A few great teachers like Mrs Christine and the Gym teacher Mr Wensel. The principal Ms Tooks is so unprofessional. She does not respond to emails.. She lies to parents and I disliked the school even more because of her lack of professionalism she really needs to go. Glad I got my three star kiddos out they absolutely deserved better. MPS need to do better with who they have in charge. Just unacceptable.

Our daughter’s primary, lower elementary and upper elementary teachers have been gifts to our family. Our child is in 6th now and loves going to school! Her teacher greets her with tea on chilly mornings, always has soft music playing in the classroom and she’s created such a kind and caring culture. Our daughter’s writing and math skills have also flourished in upper el. Sometimes we read her descriptive writing pieces and cannot believe she’s only twelve. Until 4th, she was reticent to read and write. It’s so evident the teachers form deep connections with their students and families and foster a love of learning.

We love Fratney! Great school and being Spanish immersion is such a huge benefit.

People are very rude and unwelcoming, please do better!

Me and my siblings have gone to this school for years and they have a terrible education system even the language program is terrible the teachers fail to teach their students correctly and they never handle violence correctly or bullying.

In my experience and from what I’ve observed, Milwaukee School of the Arts may not be the best choice for students who are looking to focus on academics or athletics. While the school does offer strong programs for the arts, it seems to lack a deeper connection with students outside of those areas. There isn’t a strong emphasis on academics beyond the required major classes, and students who want to challenge themselves academically or prepare for college in a more well-rounded way might find it limiting. On top of that, athletics aren’t really a priority at this school, so it’s not the ideal place for student-athletes looking to grow and compete seriously. Overall, if your main focus is academics, athletics, or a school that builds strong student-teacher relationships across all subjects, Milwaukee School of the Arts may not be the best fit.

We have been part of French Immersion for 6 years now and it has been a great school for my family. My 3 kids are speaking French and enjoy it tremendously! We value this school in many ways. I only have good things to say about my experience here. If you are looking for a school with fantastic teachers, great after school programs, and parent involvement, this is the place for you.

One of the worse schools in Milwaukee. If your kids are able to enroll elsewhere, please do!

We love this school! Daughter fully engaged and participatory. Good communication from teachers, though more on an as needed basis. Often encourage parent involvement. Many fun activities outside of regular school day. Camp program before and after school is well loved by our daughter!

this school really helped my kids learn
