Town in Wisconsin
Current Resident: This is a safe town. I have lived here most of my life and have never been afraid of being hurt by another person here. It is also a fairly busy town. On Friday and Saturday nights it is also fairly busy downtown. There are plenty of places to get ice cream, food, and there are a lot of bars downtown where people like to go have a good time (people over the age of 21, of course). In addition, there are plenty of good schools in the area between the public and private school systems. However, this is a very political town. People are very open about their political beliefs and therefore will get into arguments about it.... Read 40 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 52 reviews

Niche User: My neighborhood is one of the best I know of. Everyone is very friendly, and there is really no crime at all. We have a very nice park just down the road, and Brown's Lake and several beaches are only a few blocks away. We live on the outskirts of town, so it is very quiet, but since Burlington is fairly small, it is only about a ten minute drive to downtown. I love where I live so much!... Read 3 reviews

Current Resident: Caledonia is a quiet and prominently white suburb of Milwaukee. It is a welcoming community although the majority of the members of the community have lived there for generations. With a 20 minute drive to Milwaukee there are many things to do around the city. Yet, Not very much in the city itself there are a few local bars, coffee shops, and restaurants. Caledonia is one of those cities where only people from Caledonia know where Caledonia is. All that I wish to see change in Caledonia is to have more chain restaurants or more little restaurants or shops to drag in people.... Read 30 reviews

Current Resident: Overall, Waterford is a really friendly and comfortable town. Although the population is not very large, there is a strong sense of community. I have been a resident of Waterford for almost 20 years and spent most of my childhood here. The elementary, middle and high schools are all excellent and I feel that received an excellent education that prepared me for my college experience. The only reason I took off one star from the rating is because over the course of my 20 years living here, I have seen Waterford's Main Street shops, bars, and businesses struggle and even fall to the ground. I wish there was more interest in preserving the history of this town and encouraging residents to support local businesses in greater ways.... Read 31 reviews

Current Resident: Growing up in the neighborhood and seeing the growth and development throughout the years is quite outstanding. Being kinda of a slum and a black eye to the surrounding area the community really turned it around in the past years making it less of a community riddled with drugs and alcohol and more of a family oriented place. Also the placement of the community grants you access between 3 different cities and there various public/private schools along with job opportunities.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: Racine is a great city along Lake Michigan, it is also right between Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL. Given its proximity to these larger cities it gives a resident a great variety of activities and cuisine to try. Racine, of course, has excellent food in its downtown are but it also has many restaurants that are a little more hidden but offer great food as well! Racine has live music every month on Main Street and the surrounding bars and restaurants. It certainly is a nice city to enjoy live music by the lake and spend time with friends and family. With rivers going through it, Racine also offers a great are for water sports such as tubing and kayaking. The 4th of July fireworks bring plenty of citizens out to the lake for socializing and spectating. North Beach has a bit of elevation before arriving to the sand, and that makes great seating for the turnout. Make sure to check out Racine's 'Party On The Pavement' if you can! Lots to see and like in this city!... Read 169 reviews

Current Resident: I think that Raymond is a very nice place to live, but could be improved. For starters, the public elementary school is pretty good compared to others in the area but it doesn't really prepare you for high school. I also do not get a major sense of community in the area--you really have to put yourself out there to feel this. With FoxCon building nearby and talk of Raymond becoming a village, I believe this will begin to change and improve.... Read 4 reviews

Alum: Though I only attended Wayland for two years (my junior and senior year), my time spent there had a profound impact on me as I began by adult life. Wayland's commitment to diversity, community, knowledge, and character truly develops ethical, thoughtful, and adaptive young adults. I met lifelong friends at Wayland, one whom I consider my closest friends to this day. The educators at Wayland are top notch and are committed to facilitating the growth of their students; they build rapport and understanding with their students that often transform into friendships beyond the school years. It is truly a unique experience. 14 years post-graduation, I still meet my friends and classmates at least a few times per year, often at a Wayland Academy events (i.e Spring Gala, Homecoming weekend, Alumni weekend, etc.), or simply a gettogether with friends....
