This district runs an online school called iForward Wisconsin…read more They seem to use the funds from that school to help pay for things at the regular brick and mortar school. They have mis managed the online school and students are paying for that. They have had 4 owners in 3 years and the administration does not care about the students or if they graduate on time. They only care about the money each student brings in. The website looks great and makes a lot of promises, but they are all lies. They have lost most of the quality teachers they did have and the ones who are left are severely underpaid and over worked. It is a toxic environment for students and teachers. They run on a quarter system as well. This means instead of having 18 weeks ( a semester ) to do your work in a course you get 9 weeks to do the same amount of work you normally would have 18 weeks to do. They may make it sound flexible but it is not. They will mark you truant if you miss the live lessons in classes that are held every single day and being truant a few times allows them to kick you out of the school and send you back to your old school. I know many Seniors who because of mistakes made by the school as far as courses or credits are going to graduate late. They did the work and passed the classes but the school messed something up and they now will pay for that by not graduating on time. There are no credit recovery options at this school and they do not allow you to test out of a course you already had elsewhere if they deny those credits, which they often do when a student transfers in from another school or homeschooling.. I am a 4.0 GPA but have been here for 2 years longer than I should have because of those issues. I came to this school to take advanced courses but instead ended up doing most of them on my own , being denied books, having courses that did not work and having to file formal complaints to try to get what I needed. I get all A's if it is that hard for me then imagine the issues facing students who do not do as well in their courses or who do not have the same support at home I do.. I have also encountered a negative image about this school going out into the community. Other online schools like Connections etc.. are well received in my experience from schools and the community. My experience has not been that with this school in fact its been negative both at prospective schools and the community. It seems the school is forming a negative reputation in those areas. I think they had a good opportunity when they changed this school to iForward to make this a positive place for students to learn and teachers to work. Unfortunately they did not make the needed changes to the administration and the issues that were there in the past continue to pollute the environment and make this a negative place to get an education. Of course this is just my opinion.. but feel free to contact me as I can provide you statements from many other families who feel the same way. Do yourself a favor and Find another school! I am a current student who learned that lesson the hard way...

We had just moved to the area and I couldn't find the help to find a better school right away. the middle school principal was hands-down the WORST. I kick my daily for not calling the police on him for what he did (a whole traumatic other story). my daughter was in special education support, but in mainstream classes. The Special education teacher at the time was disgusting - she would call and LAUGH that my child was crying in the corner, and then would shout profanities at the children in her class while I was on the phone with her. She would tell them to "Shut up" and "F-ing go back to their seats... I thankfully found a better fit for her and got her out of there. along with the absolute unbelievable parents that would protest daily in the parking lot, over the school trying to be more inclusive to the LGBTQ community, my child was scarred, traumatized, and fell behind in everything. If your child is neurodivergent, or has any kind of special needs, this school is NOT for you. They will only care about the children that don't need extra help, or care.
