Parent: When my kids started school something just didn't seem right. At the time, I didn't know what was wrong, I just knew it wasn't right. After several years we looked at Brookfield Academy and learned that the classical liberal arts education and its teaching of grammar, Latin, Western Civilization coupled with BA's focus on freedom, Singapore Math, economics and its five stars that help develop good character in well-rounded individuals, is what was missing. We switched schools and the kids never looked back. Through their years at BA each child discovered passions in academics, Certamen, fencing, chess, art, and theater in addition to more common sports and clubs. In college now, they are well-prepared beyond their peers in academic foundation, resourcefulness, comfort in speaking directly with professors (thanks to the amazing teachers at BA and their desire to know their students), and have a broad range of knowledge that will serve them in any study they choose. Thankful for BA!... Read 40 reviews

Parent: It is clear to see, in the short time we’ve been at USM so far, how this school excels in regard to its teachers, curriculum, communication, facilities, and overall school culture. My only regret is that we didn’t enroll our child sooner!... Read 105 reviews

Senior: Most of the kids are spoiled and stuck up, but there are definitely many students are are really great. Pretty cliquey, but there’s definitely friends for everyone. Many teachers are overworked and under-qualified, often stretching themselves too thin. Usually newer teachers struggle a lot. Overall the school spends a lot of money on sports teams, renovation, the arts, and upholding the Homestead image. There’s tons of extracurriculars so there really is something for everyone, but administration is lazy and only involved in things they know could go public. They have yet to address the issue of recycling bins being emptied into the trash, which has been an issue for almost a decade, as well as other issues.... Read 283 reviews

Parent: DSHA has been a wonderful school for my daughter! She has spread her wings, and her involvement at DSHA has made her a leader in her school and community. The focus on whole person, faith based education with rigorous academic classes has made her ready for challenges in college and her future career. I could not ask for a better experience!...

Parent: MUHS creates a community that encourages boys to mentor each other, give back to their community, and truly consider their purpose all while maintaining rigorous academic standards and providing ample opportunities for leadership in sports and clubs. The boys learn to be self-sufficient. They often organize the school events and run the events themselves with a high degree of efficiency, school spirit, and thoughtfulness. The older students continually take an interest in helping younger students connect to the school community when they arrive at MUHS because the ninth graders come from middle schools all over the region. The meaningful bonds between the boys is evident. The faculty is topnotch and highly committed. The school understands how to motivate young men both academically and socially. I’m always impressed by the maturity of the boys at MUHS.... Read 200 reviews

Alum: Dominican was the perfect high school for me. Dominican lives out the Sinsinawa Dominican values of preaching, community, partnership, and justice, instilling these values in the students who attend. A Catholic culture is ever-present, although the student body is about 60% Catholic. In my experience at Dominican, I was able to have friends from diverse backgrounds and experiences which was really enriching and unique for most schools in the Milwaukee area--reflecting the demographic of the part of the city they live in. Going to Dominican High School is the best decision I have made for myself thus far. They have set me up for success in college by helping me every step of the way, whether I needed them to walk me through things step-by-step or needed to work alone. There are staff members I feel comfortable going to for answering questions and some even for asking for life advice. I have formed friendships here that I know I will have for the rest of my life. Thank you, Dominican!... Read 90 reviews

Alum: I am a recent graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran class of '21 and I had the best times at Wisco! Going into high school I played volleyball and basketball along with being involved in everything music. I loved my time at Wisco because of the different opportunities I was given through the classes and extra curricular clubs and sports we had. My favorite thing however, is how diverse Wisco is. I went to school with kids from a variety of different backgrounds. We had over 10 countries apart of our student body along with other cultures and ethnicities. I learned how to interact with people who come from a very different background and lifestyle than I did and I learned how to live side by side with them and stick up for them when the world tears them apart. The diversity at Wisco is something special and unique that you will not get at any other school.... Read 358 reviews

Middle School Student: I have been attending this school for nearly 11 years (I started when I was 3), and honestly my experience has been pretty good. The teachers are really good, and it is a very hands on learning experience. The classes are small so your child will not slip through the cracks and they will always be given a chance to succeed. However diversity could be better, if that's something you care about, the majority of the student population is white and if you're a person of color at this school, you might be the only person of color in your class. Also the teachers and staff aren't as diverse, but regardless they are great! This school will prepare your child for success in their high school career, and it is a very welcoming environment.

Senior: Living Word is truly an incredible Christ-centered learning environment. The teachers are especially considerate, compassionate and driven to have all of their students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. They have a love for Jesus and for carrying out their vocations as teachers. At Living Word, you are vigorously pushed to perform your best in all of your endeavors. The school's environment is one of positivity and friendliness. All students have wonderful opportunities to chase after their interests in areas such as sports, music and the arts. Overall, Living Word is an extraordinary place for preparing young people for service to Christ in the world!... Read 48 reviews

Senior: This school is one of the best private schools you can attend in Wisconsin. Every Wednesday is an early release day where students leave the school at 1:10 and head home. The teachers in this school allow you to get the best learning experience by thoroughly explaining topics and assignments. As long as you do your work, you won't have piles of work to get done. For every assignment you will get a due date that will be at least 2 days or longer depending on the teacher and the class. You wont have homework that is due a day after getting it and it gives students more time to get their work done. Another thing that is so great about this school is the lunches. The lunches are great! You can either pay for the lunches with lunch money or bring a home lunch. The school consists of more than 12 clubs and is one of the best schools in Wisconsin for athletics and sports. Overall, this school is really great I would definitely recommend it especially if you are attending college.... Read 210 reviews

Middle School Student: I loved the school because of the many opportunities to do great. I love how the school challenges you to work hard, but doesn't overwork you like other schools. The school is also great because they provide a great Islamic education to their students who are able to learn about their religious history and how the rules work in their religion. Overall if you are looking into a great Islamic school to choose, I would say this is the perfect pick.... Read 78 reviews
