Messmer Saint Mary is a private, Catholic primary and middle school. It provides classes for K4 kindergarten through eighth grade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's near-northeastern Riverwest neighborhood. Enrollment is about two-thirds the size of Gaenslen School, the neighborhood's public K-8.
Life at this school revolves around academic and religious education, but there's more to Messmer St. Mary than just sitting in the classroom. Aside from a focus on applied knowledge, students also explore interests through sports and extracurriculars. Examples include basketball, theater, student council and art club as well as several other athletic, academic and social clubs.
This school is part of a network with over 1,000 students in three schools. A few perks come with that type of support. The school's next-door neighbor, Milwaukee Robotics Academy, is one example. It's an engineering lab focused on educating young people in STEM — and it has a partnership with Messmer Catholic Schools.
If you want a continuous K-12 Catholic education in the heart of Milwaukee, this school could be the place to start. It's the primary feeder school for Messmer High School, which is accessible by both car and public transit. Messmer Saint Mary students have several advantages in applying to the high school, including early enrollment, a dedicated shadow day and an event week.

This is a very secretive school! They do NOT have an open door policy. If you bring a treat for birthdays they want you to leave in office, if you want to surprise your child and pop in class they ask you stay in the office! They claim to have an open door policy but it's the complete opposite! K4 a...
