Elementary Schools in Verona Area School District

The Verona Area School District in Wisconsin is home to 7 elementary schools serving grades K-5. These schools offer a range of educational experiences, from traditional public schools to high-performing public charter schools.

The standout schools in the district are the New Century School and Verona Area International School, both of which are public charter schools. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, with exceptional test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Another high-performing school is Core Knowledge Charter School, which also boasts excellent academic outcomes.

While the Verona Area School District generally performs well, with many schools exceeding state averages in core subject areas, there is some variability in student outcomes. Chronic absenteeism appears to be a challenge across the district, ranging from 2.4% at the charter schools to over 16% at some traditional public schools. The district's investment in education, with relatively high per-student spending, seems to be paying off for the higher-performing schools, but there is room for improvement, particularly at the lower-performing elementary schools.
