My son started at Orchard Lane in Kindergarten and is now in sixth grade. I've been really…read moreimpressed with the school overall. The teachers are highly qualified, hard working, and most do a great job communicating with parents --classroom newsletters, emails when needed, a schoolwide weekly newsletter. The curriculum seems good; my son has learned a lot. There's opportunity to go ahead if a challenge is needed (like taking a higher math level). My son has had small class sizes every year except one. Students have many arts options. In addition to regular art and music, the older grades can participate in choir, orchestra, band, or school play and these teachers do an excellent job. Sometimes there are after-school clubs offered, like Pokemon club or learning another language. The PTA (it's called Parent Faculty Council here) does a fantastic job and puts on fun events for the kids, pays for classroom field trips and school wide activities during the school day as well as hosting optional evening events (arts showcase, movie night, roller skating, trunk or treat, etc.) The PFC has a main fundraiser in the fall and your child (meaning you) will be asked to participate. It's for a good cause but if you hate fundraising, maybe just donate to it yourself. I feel that this school, like most schools in this country, could use more funding and the staff higher salaries -- but that's not specific to Orchard Lane. Our family hasn't needed to use more formalized plans or additional services for academic or behavior issues but I know they are available. The teachers have worked with us informally on getting behavior where it needs to be (trouble sitting still, overly talkative, blurting out answers and so on). I think there are plans in the future to add an outdoor/nature classroom and to update the playground. These may be expensive projects so I have no idea of a timeline -- but something to look forward to.

After seeing a lot of High Schools and attending this one, I have to give some props to the way the…read moreschool runs. District is slightly deaf to the HS and students although their offices are IN the HS... but they lock the doors to keep students out, nice job guys... They spend a lot of tax payer money to keep this thing squeaky clean with the renovation and the athletic facilities are on par and above what most schools budget. With two gyms, massive field property owned by the school, indoor pool, track, stands, stadium seating, full track field event structure, its a good school. The school has a strong academic staff with well trained personnel and devoted teachers that will be there long term, they are paid extremely well as far as the public school sector pricing goes compared to city of Milwaukee (MPS) masses that employ most of the teaching staff in the area. Your child will be challenged both academically and socially. Almost ever single teacher will interact with parents if they take the first step. There are issues brewing as Greenfield transitions the population and they see a more diverse student body. The place is layered with security and police, like most modern schools now require, and there is a fair handle on student related crime. They have also addressed the staff and have adequately fired several individuals for misconduct involving students, I would like to dock the school a star for this, but they have zero tolerance and I guarantee you every HS has an issue, but gag orders usually keep these things tied up in litigation. Ask around... I would like to note one major flaw that almost took this down to 3 stars, career and counseling program at Whitnall is weak, extremely weak. They do not interact and prepare students for college like I have seen at other schools. The recruitment numbers are based on entrance to college, not preparation. I have witnessed a fair share of failure of the lives of whitnall's graduating classes due to their ill prepared college life transition. Many of the students drop out and work in the area, it is sad. I went for advice pre-college and really got no substantial information. They need a pre-college system for acclimation and take the job more seriously. Love hate relationship with the alma mater. There is a hard headed management aspect to the school but overall you have way more pluses than minuses here, I'm just dishing on the bad because the good is obvious if you walk through the halls.
