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 teac
Posted by a parent on 6/10/2025This school has really went down hill over the years. The teachers can’t really teach because of all the behavioral issues. They can’t even attend to all the behavioral issues that happen daily. My children tell me about physical fights at least twice a week. There is absolutely no type of accountab
Posted by a parent on 1/4/2025We feel privileged that we have language immersion available to us as part of our public school system. MFIS is a gem of a school with faculty and parents that care deeply about their community. The teachers are dedicated and responsive. The staff is incredibly helpful. The PTA is very active. We co
Posted by a parent on 5/23/2023I am so grateful for such a wonderful school. The level of education, camaraderie, and diversity are excellent. I have lived all over the world, and I am elated that my kids have the opportunity to experience other cultures besides the Midwests'--right here in Milwaukee! Well done, MFIS!
Posted by a parent on 4/3/2020This is a staff and administration who is clearly committed to their students. They work hard to provide a rigorous education that goes beyond just reading and math (as many urban schools do) to teach true content related to geography, culture, social studies, and science. They encourage social/emot

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis place made my daughter scared of going to school because of the teachers. They called me over some gum saying that she spitted it out. I was in a meeting about I almost got fired because she would not stop calling until I picked up the phone. This school is bad the kids swear at you and it is so dirty and the principle Ms. Richardson is so annoying and so confusing.Parent Review7y ago - Neeskara School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe individuals who work here show favoritism. It seems that they like the disobedient children more than the - obedient ones. The defiant ones get rewarded but the respectful ones barely get the recognition they deserve.In addition to favoring the defiant ones, they also favor those with ties to a staff member or a student's relative. You could be a straight-A student with perfect attendance and only get credited for it at a ceremony that they only have three times a year. If you're a defiant student who is always in detention, ISS, or suspended, you'll be highly liked by others and get rewarded for small things. Even better if you know a staff member well or they know you well. There is always a situation with their staff being unprofessional. They don't handle bullying the way they should. The same students who are known to be disrespectful or mean towards others are still attending the school, even after multiple disciplines. If a student is visibly struggling with their mental health, instead of trying to help them, they try to push them out of their comfort zone and that is not the way to approach that. They rarely have a ceremony or meeting about bullying, they just brush it aside by simply disciplining the student instead of actually trying to understand why they’re doing it. You even get in trouble just for defending yourself, and if you’re not someone they favor? They don’t even try to listen to you. If you don't want your child to be under stress 24/7, do NOT send them here. This place absolutely disgusts me and I despise it with everything within me. It is still the same way it was years ago.Other Review1mo ago - Mount Calvary Lutheran School
