Verona Area School District

The Verona Area School District in Wisconsin serves over 5,000 students across 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently outperform state averages on standardized tests.

The New Century School and Verona Area International School, both public charter elementary schools, are the top performers in the district, with over 70% of students proficient or advanced in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These schools also have very low chronic absenteeism rates around 2-3%. Another high-performing school is the Core Knowledge Charter School, which serves grades K-8 and has 70-80% of students proficient or advanced on the Forward Exam.

While the district as a whole outperforms state averages, there is some variation in performance among the traditional public elementary and middle schools. For example, Sugar Creek Elementary stands out with consistently high test scores, while other schools like Glacier Edge Elementary and Savanna Oaks Middle have lower proficiency rates. The district's high school, Verona Area High, maintains strong performance but has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
