Atwater Elementary School is a mid-size public school in Shorewood, a suburb of Milwaukee, located minutes from Lake Michigan. Built in 1915, it was the first public school in the Shorewood School District. Today it serves preschool through sixth-grade students, and enjoys smaller class sizes than other nearby public schools.
The school promotes its research-based curriculum and reputation as part of one of the top school districts in Milwaukee’s reputable north shore area. In addition to its core educational and academic program, Atwater Elementary School offers special enrichment courses like physical education, music, art, Spanish, library, and social-emotional learning. Atwater Elementary School also places a particular emphasis on second language acquisition.
Atwater Elementary School values family and the local community, which help drive the success of its students. In addition, the school’s highly engaged and robust volunteer parent organization supports school and classroom learning, social activities, and special enrichment programs.

Excellent teachers that truly care, and a community to back them up are the reasons we chose Atwater. Extremely diverse culturally and economically. The new EL program seems to be valuable. Advanced learning dept offers enrichment in math and language arts for those who need it.
