Suburb in Wisconsin
Current Resident: The Village of Sherwood is a small bedroom community just outside of Appleton. We have access to one of the nicest state parks in Wisconsin - High Cliff State Park. The taxes are reasonable yet offer so much more than expected. In the winter roads appear to be cleared of snow twice before you get up and go to school or work. The staff are on top of maintenance throughout the village. Lots of retirees, but also a lot of families so it is a growing community. Love that we have Appleton water!... Read 5 reviews

Town in Wisconsin
Nearby Resident: Winneconne is a wonderful little town. Everybody knows everybody and newcomers feel welcomed no matter where they stop in. The schools offer a great learning environment. They are large enough for students to feel like individuals, but still small enough to not be overwhelming. The restaurants are owned and run by local residents who engage well with newcomers and regulars. The nightlife, though small, offers an array of entertainment, be it bands, karaoke, town parties, or league nights. It's simply a happy town filled with happy people!... Read 5 reviews

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Little Chute nearly all my life and hardly have any problems with it. The majority of its residents are kind and the area does not seem to suffer many minor crimes or otherwise. Nearby and neighboring cities are Kimberly/Combined Locks, Kaukauna & Appleton. Reasons I would no longer give it 5 stars is the new buildings going up everywhere. There are hardly any areas with just grass and those areas that do exist are starting to be filled in by whatever they can fit a business. Secondly, though it does not bother me, there is a train track that runs straight through the middle of town and you will clearly hear it regardless of where you live.... Read 38 reviews

Current Resident: New Holstein is a tight-knit community that fits the role of the "small-town America" to a tee. This is a place where the bank teller remembers your name, the local pizza place knows who you are based on your regular order, and your neighbors truly look out for you. But with as many advantages as a small town like New Holstein will come with, there are certainly sacrifices that have to be made. This can be a good thing, because you are thirty minutes away from anything, but also thirty minutes away from everything. With a small school, certainly there are drawbacks like far less AP opportunities and such than a large public school may offer, but there are definite benefits as well. For one, it is far easier to stand out as an individual, rather than just another number in a classroom. Despite wanting to pursue college in a bigger community, I must admit I would not have wanted to grow up anywhere else.... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: When my wife and I got married we were deciding where to settle down and when to start a family. So growing up in Appleton area and knowing sbout the surrounding cities. I was very hesitant about moving to Kaukauna mostly because of starting a family, and I wasnt sure i wanted to raise the kids there. After researching for awhile Kaukauna was our decision. 12 years later a 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter I couldnt be happier. Great rec department, teachers, community activities for a small town parks, trails. The best bakery in the state at Hilltop, and i believe the best breakfast in the area at Landermans.

Current Resident: I love the beauty of Appleton. It is a small town, filled with hiking trails, an excellent shopping mall, the Performing Arts Center, and more! Appleton also offers many events to bring the community together and educate its inhabitants on other cultures, art, music, and entrepreneurship. If there was one thing I could change about Appleton, it would be the quality of the roads. Many backroads and neighborhood streets have potholes and are extremely uneven.

Current Resident: North Fond du Lac is a nice quiet town to raise a family around friendly people. All of the people are nice and are willing to help out if needed. The police are very nice are caring and always looking to help. The schools are smaller so your kid will get more one on one with the teacher. You also have the city of Fond du Lac 5 mins away to do all of your shopping and other needs. That is where most of the nightlife happens. Overall NFDL is a very nice and safe place to grow up and raise your family in. You have FDL to do your shopping or to get a bite to eat .

Parent: We enrolled our son in Fork Union Military Academy after seeing so many YouTube videos that touted the benefits of the one-subject program and the school. The promise of focus, structure, and accomplishment came through. He passed all his classes in this, his first year, a sophomore at FUMA. We took advantage of their academic success program. There he found continuous support and cheers! They found novel approaches to reach him, took the time to learn about him, and flexed their approaches. I have been concerned in the past about the ability of teachers who are not Black to 'see my son' as an individual. At FUMA, they know him, challenge him to be his best, hold him accountable, and motivate him. I am proud of what he has done this year. As a testament to the place, he is looking forward to going back in the Fall - he's proud that he's earned a promotion in rank and knows he can do even better academically. Amazing....
