My son is currently finishing up his kindergarten year at Arboretum. We just moved to Waunakee last summer from hours away so we knew no one when he started out the school year. He raves about all of his wonderful teachers and has made tons of good friends. The school is very clean, the staff is fri
Posted by a parent on 5/26/2016Currently two of our three children are at Arboretum. The teachers already know my youngest who will not start kindergarten until next year. We could not be happier with the education. Teacher are very detailed and organized. We have constant communication with the teachers and staff. In a school of

Posted by a parent on 12/18/2014Arboretum Elementary School is very organized and careful about making sure students are accounted for. The students feel safe to concentrate on the lessons in the classroom, given by their excellent teachers. If parents are delayed in picking up students, the children will be happily sitting in the
Posted by a community member on 10/24/2013I am floored by the one star review submitted earlier...so much so that I am not convinced it is even valid. We feel so incredibly blessed to have our kids at Arboretum. The teachers and school as a whole are amazing. My kids absolutely LOVE going to school and they do an incredible job at Arboretum

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat new school. The teachers are always nice and respectful. My child loves the school and the new layout. It did move out of town next to the intermediate school, but Waunakee has done a good job making it accessible.Parent Review1y ago - Waunakee Prairie Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers were caring and effective however there is a lack of kindness and inclusiveness at this school. If you move in from out of the area it is quite difficult for children to assimilate and make friends. The district wasn't effective with the bullying our child endured and we ultimately moved all of our children to a private school.Parent Review9y ago - Lindbergh Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDiverse student body. Kind and qualified staff with low turnover. Strong leadership focused on results. Small classroom sizes. Despite the higher rate of poverty and higher percentage of ESL students my kids are doing well and enjoying it. This school continues to move in the right direction. Don't base your opinion entirely on standardized test scores.Parent Review10y ago - Central Wisconsin Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids has been at this school since kindergarten (Now Sophomore) and the school had been a decent fit for them. Most of the kids are nice along with the teachers. The school is very academic based, leading to good education and learning but also very stressful times. My main issue with the school is the Leadership and Heads. There is no punishment it discipline in this school. Ever since kindergarten, bullying, rumors, lies, and harassment have been tolerated and never properly dealt with. Kids never get anything more than a slap on the wrist. My kid had told me about kids making school sh**ting jokes, sexist comments, and physical harassment. But nothing happens to the perpetrates of these actions and instead it’s a class punishment or lecture. According to my kid one student was complained about so much that admin just stoped listening.Again this is a problem that had been going on for about ten years, and it’s never been fixed.Finally my other problem with the school is the lack of sources and opportunities for artistic kids. There is only really art, design and theater for MS kids to take. In HS kids have to pick weather or not they take Theater, Art or Music Theory. If you want to follow an artistic career path there is not much and often you are put in lower level classes or left to struggle. The academic environment is very brutal.Parent Review1y ago
