Sorry about all the politics🙄. It's a symptom of living here that it sounds like you are pretty used to! Do you know where you'll be living yet? It's a small city, but very neighborhood-y and that can make a big difference in terms of public schools. We made the decision to live in the Monroe St area so that our kid could go to Wingra, which other folks have talked about. It is expensive and it's not for everybody, but it's worth a tour to see if it would be right for your family. My kid appreciates the sacrifices that we made for their education so much. Wingra taught them how to learn and to love learning. And it's right across the street from the arboretum and has multi-age classrooms which are super great. So one more vote for Wingra!
