Pewaukee Lake Elementary School

As a new family to meadowbrook, both parents working 1st shift, before and after school care for us was absolutely critical. Didn't receive any notification or information about enrollment deadlines for the Y until a week before school started... A week too late to make 1st enrollment.. So now we have to frantically struggle to find something to work for 2 weeks as busy parents... Thanks a lot Meadowbrook for the epic failure to pass along any pertinent information for before and after care for new parents in a responsible and timely manner.

There appears to be no safety protocols in place in the school. 3-6 year old children seem free to play around open bonfires. Doors are not locked or monitored. Teachers seem overwhelmed and have difficulty dealing with stress.

Queen of Apostles provides children with more than just a great education. They are taught to respect and appreciate the gifts of their classmates and everyone in their community. Leadership is strong there and school families get together in and out of school events year round. All the efforts and support make this school as truly unique experience that caries with your children into their adult lives.

This area is filled with great schools, public and private, which is why we regretted choosing this school. The leadership is weak, the communication between parent/teacher is poor. There is also little support from the parish priest. For other schools, their involvement has made a big difference in a school's success. Most of the teacher's teaching style is antiquated and inflexible which leads to favoritism. The schools curriculum can't compete with larger schools as there no variety in subjects like math and science. They have replaced over half of their teachers but we're not confident this will fix anything.

My daughter has excelled at CELA and looks forward to going to school. The smaller class sizes allows for her teachers to know when she needs extra help and provide that to her. CELA is a school that has caring, supportive teachers that are really committed to student success. The faith based environment teaches about Jesus and how we can emulate our lives after his actions. The building is beautiful and I feel confident that my daughter is safe inside.
