About WI Heights Schools

Wisconsin Heights is a school district of approximately 777 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. In the fall of 2022, the One Campus vision came to fruition. An elementary wing was added to the middle/high school, enabling all students and staff to be at one location. We are located 20 minutes west of Madison in the beautiful Driftless Area. Our district encompasses approximately 100 square miles in the Black Earth and Mazomanie areas.  The area provides multiple recreational activities with a history that is deep and dynamic.

Our goal as a district is to help all children reach their potential every day, every year, in every class, in every activity. To achieve this goal, 131 dedicated staff members make a daily commitment to students, families, and our district. Of these 131, about 50% live in the district. As a result, they know our children not only as neighbors, but also through scout troops, youth sports, church groups, and other community activities. Whether teacher or secretary, cook or custodian, aide or assistant, these hometown connections help Wisconsin Heights educators meet the needs of our students.

A deeply-ingrained trademark of our schools is the personal attention that comes through small class sizes. A typical class size is 15-22, whether in kindergarten, sixth-grade science, or junior year American Literature. Smaller classes are offered to help ensure student success in special areas such as advanced placement classes and upper-level foreign languages. As a result of caring educators, committed students, and small class sizes, the district has a record of high levels of academic achievement as demonstrated by above-average standardized test scores.

We also recognize that a fundamental part of a student’s life is what happens outside the classroom. Toward that end, we offer a wide variety of extra-curricular programs for children of all ages. Here is just a partial list.
