Whitefish Bay Middle School

Our two children attend Lake Bluff and I have nothing but great things to say about this school. The teachers are top notch, families are engaged, and I appreciate the focus on personal integrity and the intrinsic joy of the learning process.

Have had two kids go through parkway and pre pandemic it was excellent you would walk through the halls see parents reading to kids, there was a ton of parental involvement. for all the activates you could not sign up fast enough and the teachers are top tier. and I love how inclusive it is where you have kids with different abilities in the classroom it made my kids more understanding and kind to others that are different. I feel my kids got a quality education..

Great school in a great community! My children have thrived at Cumberland.

We are very happy with our kids experiences at Richards. They address the whole kid and don’t put too much focus on standardized testing.

The Milwaukee Jewish Day School is no longer the stellar, growing, and tight-knit community that many older reviews would indicate and this reviewer would have once agreed with. Over the last few years, under the leadership of Aaron Lippman and Jori Broidy, the school has seen remarkably high staff and student turnover, has lost some of its best teachers, and has made countless questionable hiring and staffing decisions. Their communication skills are embarrassingly bad, lacking in consistency, clarity, and empathy. The school’s decline is a direct result of their poor leadership. They have fostered a culture of burned-out staff, victim-blaming of bullied students, and a fear of confronting the bullies or their parents.Perhaps worst of all, the “Jewish” soul of the school is being slowly snuffed out. Small things that are easy to make the school feel more Jewish are overlooked, holiday celebrations are planned last-minute, parent volunteering went from a community-building opportunity to a mandate, and the quality of the Hebrew and general Jewish education has been abysmal.While it may look good at a glance and the leadership will put on a nice face and make a great first impression, I would not choose to send my child to the Milwaukee Jewish Day School while either of the previously mentioned administrators are running it.

Holy Family School is such a special place. Watching our daughters thrive over the years has been such a blessing. There is a true sense of belonging and community. Highly recommend!
