The teachers, the principal and the vice principal really care and create a culture that is so welcoming and wholesome for the kids. I feel very lucky that my daughter can go here.

I wish my son and I could just forget the nightmare he went through at this school. The principal was a bully and it echoed through to the staff and children. My son has never had any behavioral issues and is loved by most everyone he meets due to his sweet nature. I will never know what it was about my kid that caused such an aproar that we had to involve so many people, but to see a kiddo bullied by an authoritive figure who was supposed to set an example will leave a footprint in my son's life forever. If you're looking for a great school I recommend Broadway.

We have four children all of whom have very different personalities and learning needs. The teachers are incredible, and every year they take the time to get to know them, their learning needs, and push them to show “GRIT”—best effort, respect, and trying again if you make a mistake. Bullying is not tolerated. The principal leads with integrity and and wisdom, and he is an excellent role model. The teachers are experienced and empowered to lead specific to their class needs by the principal. Helping others and compassion for others is demonstrated by all. We are so happy to be a part of the Appleton family.

We transferred into Appleton mid year from another local charter school. We were surprised at how far behind our daughter was! The teacher she was assigned to spent tons of extra time with her. After 8 weeks, shes right where she should be and even a little ahead! Teacher sends me text messages on a regular basis to keep me informed on progress at school and how to help at home. My child is actually HAPPY and LOVES being an Appleton Bookworm!

Things have changed a LOT since my children first started going to Appleton many years ago. It is NOT the 10 school it once was. Too many changes academically as well as staff..... Old tried and true methods work best which is why the school went from a 10 to a 6 in testing. Sad.
