My 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
Posted by a parent on 12/11/2024MCDS is a very academic driven school, this is a pro however some time the work/test load on students can be a lot. My kid shouldn’t cry because of a missed school day because they fear the work load. The students can be academically driven but some lack engagement when it comes to school, the burn
Posted by a parent on 5/22/2024My family has had three children enrolled in MCDS for three years now. The level of support and attention each one receives is astonishing. All three are so different ... they each have different talents and struggles. I am amazed how this school can meet each one of my children where they are and h
Posted by a parent on 4/10/2023Our family has been with the school for about six years (two different kids) and I have to say that I have seen a decline in the quality of instruction as well as overall communication to families. The fact that there is constant staff turnover does not help either. I have been surprised at how many
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2022We are a humble family of Color who never expected to be able to give our daughter, who is a gifted but neurodivergent child, the opportunity to attend such a prestigious school.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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 friendly, and I love that they are always willing to take volunteers in the classroom or let parents eat lunch with the kids. At the beginning of the year, he could read two words (literally, his name and mine) and now he is reading with little to no help. Bonus, starting Spanish in Kindergarten has been a really exciting experience for him and he loves to utilize what he has learned when he's outside of school. We could not be more pleased. Sheila Wiehart is a very active face in the school's events. It gives a wonderful feeling to see the principal of the school first thing in the morning holding the for open for the kids. She does an incredible job at creating relationships with everyone.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 - Mendota Elementary School
