Prairie Hill Waldorf School

The special needs program and teachers absolutely failed my child. It was a very poor program, the teacher made Facebook posts about my low functioning autistic child while doing absolutely nothing to help him. The principal Robyn screamed at me once in front of my child because it took me an hour to drive from Milwaukee to pewaukee to pick him up from school sick. I was a single mother in school- I made it there as fast as I could and she screamed at me in the Parking lot in front of my child and everyone else. It was embarrassing, tacky, classless, and I pulled my kid out of that school soon after. My son went from being scared to go to school to happy and thriving where he is now.

I cannot believe there are any negative reviews of Meadowbrook. I can't say enough positive things about this school. My daughter has an IEP. We enrolled in Meadowbrook upon our return to WI, and since her first day, they have been nothing but supportive, caring, and effective. I love that they still do a large majority of their work on paper, not relying on Chromebooks for EVERYTHING. I love that they really see each kid as an individual, taking time to understand them and personalize their access to education. Their SPED program is thorough, and their leadership, headed by Ms. Barry, is top-notch. I know that if I have any concerns at all, there will be someone at the school who will listen. School is not always easy for my kid, but Meadowbrook has allowed her to take giant steps towards thriving. I'm actually sad thinking that we will have to leave Meadowbrook to go on to middle school soon.

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.
