If I could give this school zero stars, I would. The administration is completely incompetent, and the teachers don't seem to care about the well-being of the students at all! My child has been struggling, and despite multiple attempts to reach out for help, we've been ignored time and time again.Let's start with the lack of communication. Emails go unanswered, phone calls are never returned, and when you finally get a hold of someone, they act like you're the one being unreasonable! This is a school, for heaven's sake! I shouldn't have to chase down the staff to get basic information.The facilities are another nightmare. The classrooms are outdated, dirty, and in desperate need of repairs. The technology is laughably out of date, making it impossible for students to keep up with the modern world. It's as if the school is stuck in the last century, and they have no plans to change.But worst of all is the bullying. My child has come home in tears on more than one occasion, and despite multiple complaints, NOTHING has been done. The staff claims they have a "zero tolerance policy," but it's obvious that they do nothing to enforce it. How are students supposed to learn in such a toxic environment?If you're considering sending your child to this school, don't. Save yourself the headache and find somewhere that actually cares about your child’s education and well-being. This place is a disgrace.

I may have only gone to this school 4K-2nd grade but that entire time it was an amazing experience and I doubt it’s the same now from that time ago, but from what my parents have told me, they thought that the school was very engaged with telling the parents what’s been going on and I really enjoyed the hands-on experience with learning so if you think your kids will like something like that, I would definitely recommend enrolling your kids here.

I’ve been here since my 3rd grade year.. and it’s been hell. Golda claims they’re such a gifted and talented school but in reality they really aren’t. just because they have all these assemblies, programs, etc does not mean they are greater than everyone else. The teachers here are very judge-mental and they are not helpful. I remember telling a teacher how i was feeling and all she had to say was “ok, go to class and it’ll get better” very dismissive. This past week i told a administrator that a teacher made me feel a way and she also told me to go to class and that it’ll get better.. All they do is choose the teachers side and they are very dismissive towards the students. Golda Meir has taken a toll on my mental health from the teachers, students , work , and administrators. This school is also very messy and all the friends are fake af. Overall, i would not recommend this school (ALL shade)

My ratings are based on long ago experience. I graduated from Hamilton in 1973 and toured the school last year for my 50th reunion. I hadn't set foot in the school since graduation and I was overjoyed that it hadn't changed at all. The auditorium, the pool, the cafeteria were exactly the same. Pristine! I got emotional walking into the gym, I could hear the crowd cheering for our state basketball champs! Then I heard from our tour guide that only 50% of students graduate compared to 90% of my class of 73. Barely any participation in sports or the many extracurricular activities. What a shame that my school has fallen so far. What the heck happened to the public schools in Milwaukee?

I am a sophomore here at King. And this school is definitely not as much of a "top-notch" place as people are playing it out to be. The behaviors, the reading skills, and the lazy security staff are all just crappy. And the test scores are always below average. A good portion of the teachers are supportive, and Mr. Groeschl the physics teacher is hilarious. But if you want to send your child to a good, actual "top-notch" school here in Milwaukee, I would recommend Ronald Reagan.

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 is so bad do NOT send your kid here !!!
