We are a military and moved here from Paddock lake, WI. So many of our friends and family told us to live in Waunakee the only Waunakee in the world! We were told that the sports and the community and the schools would not disappoint! That is still true and we have been here for two and a half years. The sports are amazing and we love it. Our boys have excelled in every way. When we were new to the area they gave our kids a one on one tour of the whole building and got them all set up!!! The teachers are super nice and helpful and go out of their way to introduce themselves and the principal and the assistant principal are amazing and super nice! They always call if there are issues with my kids to let me know whats going on they honestly care a lot and sometimes we have to roll our eyes and think they care a lot!! Overall we are very pleased with the school and they are doing a great job and they are going above and beyond to make sure every student is being cared for and feels safe at school especially with everything going on right now with the division. The high school is super close to the middle school which is nice, pick up and drop off can get crazy but all car lines are. We have always thought this is a great place to go to school and play sports. The town for sure gets together a lot and they will exclude you so put yourself out there and make friends and sign your kids up for clubs and sports so they can get involved no one is going to do it for you. The town its self is crazy on rules and complain a lot. They want you to shovel every 24 hours after it snows and your have to keep sidewalks clear at all times fyi! Make the most out of it!

We moved to Waunakee from Illinois at the start of the 2010 school year. In the beginning of the year, the counselor did seem to make an extra effort to help my son (in 7th grade) get acquainted to the school. But as time went by, I'm not sure anyone followed through. My son is on the shy side, so doesn't make friends quickly or easily, so I'm sure it has a lot to do with his personality. Overall though, I can say it was a positive experience. My son learned a lot this year, class sizes are low (around 20-24 kids) compared to our classes in Illinois (32+ kids). Felt overall that it is a great school academically. I can not comment on the principal, as I never met her, and not sure about the parent involvement.

Teachers are above and beyond helping kids. Supportive and always keep parents informed of if kids need extra help.
