Olson Elementary School

The school leadership and teachers have given my two kids a great experience so far (Eldest is in 1st grade and youngest in K). There are many outreach programs to keep the parents involved and interacting with teachers and the community. My daughter shows me in the Class Dojo APP the fun teacher/ kid racing and other events that keep learning engaging. I know this specific school serves a high number of low income and children without much English prior to starting school. My kids are in the dual language immersion and love it. I am very grateful for the full experience my kids are getting at Anana Elementary (formerly known as Falk).

School admin and teachers are very engaged. Our child has had some behavioral issues since entering school and the staff has always dealt with it fairly and has offered extra resources to help. They have learned a ton and very quickly. There's a reason why the test scores are above average and they are consistently ranked highly by the state of Wisconsin.

This is a fantastic, Christ-centered school. They are big enough to offer athletics and the arts while small enough to be a tight-knit community. Highly recommended.

Our family has been at Hickory Hill Academy for a number of years. We have had the pleasure of watching the school grow through many seasons. My children each have different personalities and learning styles which is why I appreciate HHA most. I feel as though each student is seen and cared for in both their academic and social-emotional needs. If they are a quiet kid who fades into the background, my children's teachers have made a mission of ensuring they too find their voice, meet their large and small learning goals, and inspire them to engage in learning. When my children have struggled in academic or social-emotional areas, they have provided detailed communication and next steps to help them move forward. If my child has had a significant academic or social-emotional need they can't provide, they are honest and helpful in suggesting what will help my child be most successful. On the flip side, when my child is showing advancement in academic areas they have provided ways to continue to challenge my child and help them continue to grow in that area. I feel that this happens because the staff and teachers really care about each student's well-being and success. My family has also appreciated the large campus, opportunities to connect with animals and nature, athletic teams, afterschool enrichment, high level of hands-on learning, strong relationships with teachers, and community events.

Madison Waldorf School has taken my daughters from having such a hard time getting up in the morning, melting down before they get to the door to popping awake, taking care of themselves and their gear, and excited to be part of their classroom community. The classrooms are beautiful and have really thoughtful sensory friendly design in bright welcoming colors and natural materials. I love that the classrooms are screen-free and the students are engaging their whole self in learning, from times tables while jumping rope/double dutch, to annual class plays in each grade. Science is proving screen-free learning is more robust and I'm glad we can hold off the specter of AI a little longer.I'm learning how desirable Waldorf graduates are in higher ed, too.I love this school and surrounding community and I'm glad we found Madison Waldorf School.
