Posted by a community member on 4/16/2021I would leave a Zero Star review if I could. After repeated and constant bullying and harassment by both students and staff at this school my child was diagnosed with PTSD. I wish my child had never entered this school, it has so dramatically and drastically impacted her in such a negative way that
Posted by a parent on 12/22/2020Our son is now starting his third year at Whittier. We were admittedly reluctant and concerned when he enrolled for the 2014-15 school year. Fast forward, we have had ZERO issues with the school and/or any member of the staff. Our son is at or above grade level in reading and math. He is eager and e
Posted by a parent on 9/6/2016I pulled my daughter out of this school for a couple of really big reasons. First and foremost, the bullying there is horrible. When children are getting attacked at the school the teachers say nothing and the attacker goes unpunished, parents are uninformed and it isn't referred to the principal. W
Posted by a parent on 7/3/2014I took my children out of this school. My kids were not given a chance at a quality education in this school, so now we are a homeschooling family. This is now a normal statement from many people that I know who have removed their children from this school. When I was informed that one of my childre

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnfortunately this school has fallen behind and failing the entire student body. Us educators and the students suffer as the uneducated parents in the community hold their children’s education back and block the opportunities to grow in the bigger world. Several teachers on staff are looking elsewhere, some have already found better opportunities. We simply don’t feel empowered or supported here. Sad times.Teacher Review2y ago - Prairie Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe community, teachers, principal and families make this a wonderful, positive, high achieving school to attend. We wouldn’t send our kid to any other Waukesha elementary, this school seems like a diamond in Waukesha and we have been thrilled with the communication home from teachers and administration. So happy with this school and we have only great things to say. Way to go teachers and admin!Parent Review3y ago - Waukesha Catholic Middle School-St Joseph Campus

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school needs new administration and updated policies on social emotional support for kids struggling. The school more than tolerates bullying and isolation of peers. There is no application of actual Catholic values with in the school and the majority of school families.Parent Review2mo ago - Trinity Lutheran School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTrinity Lutheran School has been a wonderful place for our family. The teachers truly know the students and care about them as whole people, not just as learners. I love that my students are able to see their teachers in worship on Sunday and at our church/school events.At this time, I don't think Trinity has the resources to handle students with extreme special needs. It's just too small. However, the size can be a blessing for some families because it is easy to feel connected if you get involved. In the classroom, my children are encouraged and known by name and truly feels loved by his teachers.Parent Review6mo ago - La Casa de Esperanza Charter School
