Classes are availablRiverwest Elementary School provides a public education for the youngest learners of its riverside community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Classes are available for 3-year-old prekindergarten students through fifth grade. It's one of two schools serving this age group in the Riverwest neighborhood; the other is the English-Spanish bilingual Fratney School. Riverwest Elementary's goal is to offer an education based on core academic standards. While it falls short of the state average on most metrics, it compares favorably to many other schools in the area. There's also more to the story than just the numbers. Early-childhood education starting at age 3 is a welcome option for many of the busy residents of this area. There are also after-school programs at the school and through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee Community Learning Center. One of the most intriguing aspects of Riverwest Elementary is its robust network of partners. Kids might engage with contemporary literary arts, hone dance skills, explore nature and even become junior museum docents — all with guidance from youth organizations and prominent institutions. Girls get special opportunities through Girl Scouts and the Girls on the Run third-through-fifth-grade program. All of this adds up to a local school that's a part of its surroundings. Riverwest Elementary is connected, focused and community-oriented; it's a place where children learn, socialize and grow into their unique cosmopolitan environment.e for 3-year-old prekindergarten students through fifth grade.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
