Germantown Area Education

PUBLIC SCHOOLING

GERMANTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT
All of Germantown and sections of neighboring Richfield, Polk and Jackson communities are served by the dedicated Germantown School District. Nearly 4,000 students receive excellent educational opportunities through the district’s six schools, which includes four elementary schools (Amy Belle, County Line, MacArthur and Rockfield), one middle school (Kennedy) and one high school (Germantown).

The district’s regular curriculum is complemented by an array of peerless programs, extra-curricular activities and by such supportive entities as the PTA—not to mention the district’s treasury of knowledgeable faculty and staff who are devoted to providing the finest education to area students. www.germantown.k12.wi.us

PRIVATE EDUCATION

For those looking to take an alternative route for primary and secondary education, Germantown and its closely surrounding communities offer a number of excellent private institutions to meet such needs. Germantown itself is home to St. Boniface Catholic School (K4-8th grade) and the second campus of Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran School, which opened in 2001. Further options for private schooling, from pre-Kindergarten through high school, can be found in nearby communities.
