Education

Wisconsin is always at or near the top in national education rankings, and Elmbrook School District maintains exceptionally high educational standards for its nearly 7,500 students. The school district is home to students from several municipalities — including the City of Brookfield, the Village of Elm Grove and portions of both the Town of Brookfield and the City of New Berlin.

Six elementary schools (K-5), two middle schools (6-8), two high schools (9-12) and one special education school serve these students.

Completing an education in an Elmbrook school ensures that students will be well prepared to face tomorrow’s challenges. Their performance reflects the high degree of dedication of the administration and staff — which has developed outstanding academic programs. The high quality education that children receive in the district is a product of dedication, years of experience and careful design.

With access to the latest technology, teaching methods and educational research, educators in the district are fully equipped to serve individual student’s needs, identify their strengths and focus on encouraging them to reach their full potential. However, if you would like to send your student on an alternative educational track, then you will find that there is a choice of many outstanding private and parochial schools in the Brookfield area as well.
