Great elite private school in Wisconsin. Our daugher is in high school and loves that all of her peers are focused but not too upight. College counseling begins in 9th grade which gets students focused on college early. Sports could be better funded and organized, but overall it is a fantastic school that delivers on the promise of a top-tier education.

I love Prairie. Classes are small so the teachers provide one-on-one attention. One teacher emailed me after school to see if I had questions on the science project. This is the best private school I have attended.

It's a fine college prep school. You'll be ready for college if you go here. It's just a bit small, so keep that in mind.
