My son is in his fifth year of school in Waunakee and we are so happy with where is at academically. I have always felt like the expectations are much higher here and I worry when I talk to parents on teenagers in the district because of the amount of stress these teenagers are under with their studies. However, there is something to be said for academic preparedness. I have heard from current college students that say high school was stressful but they were more prepared for college than many of their peers. The standards for education are outstanding here and I love all of the educational opportunities that are offered here. I would 100% recommend this community to anyone that is looking to relocate to this area. The teachers are amazing, the food service is top notch, and these schools are incredible. I have read comments in other reviews about the lack of diversity, that is changing a lot in the younger grades right now, and was certainly never the fault of the district.
I like that Waunakee is very committed to its students and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Also, it is one of the best public schools in the state regarding education!
Waunakee High School is fantastic as it helps students showcase their talents through clubs, athletics, and academics. The culture at Waunakee is very respectful as everyone is very polite to each other; which, means bullying is not a problem at Waunakee. Our student body has a lot of team spirit for our athletics like football, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse. The teachers there are also very involved with their student, as each teacher gives out resources to all students so that they can succeed. However, some students choose not to take those resources to help them. Even Waunakee has some problems; yet for one the diversity at Waunakee is non-existent, as 98 percent of us are white. Also, a lot of Waunakee students come from the middle to upper class; which, allows students to have easy access to money to buy drugs. Drugs have become very prevalent, like juuling and dabing, even in middle school. Overall Waunakee is a fantastic school it just needs a few changes.
