Summary:

The Verona Area School District in Wisconsin operates 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district is home to several standout schools, particularly in the elementary grades, that consistently outperform state and district averages on academic measures.

The Core Knowledge Charter School, New Century School, and Verona Area International School are three charter elementary/middle schools that excel, with 4- and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and rankings in the top 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools. These schools stand out for their exceptional performance in math, English language arts, and social studies. In contrast, some traditional public elementary schools in the district, such as Sugar Creek Elementary and Glacier Edge Elementary, lag behind the district and state averages.

At the secondary level, Verona Area High School has a strong 91% four-year graduation rate, but the district's two middle schools, Badger Ridge Middle and Savanna Oaks Middle, have room for improvement, particularly in reducing chronic absenteeism rates. Overall, the Verona Area School District appears to be a strong-performing district, with some exceptional charter schools and a mix of performance at the elementary level.
