WOODLANDS SCHOOL EAST

Woodlands School East is a public charter elementary school with about 282 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 17 teachers, Woodlands School East has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Woodlands School East is a tuition-free, K4–8 public charter school located in the Avenues West neighborhood of Milwaukee. As part of a two-campus network (alongside Woodlands School State Street), the school is authorized by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It is widely recognized for its commitment to a comprehensive, "whole-child" educational philosophy that emphasizes academic excellence, the arts, and the cultivation of strong character and community values.

The school is known for its diverse, inclusive environment and its rigorous curriculum, which integrates core subjects with specialized instruction in music, art, and physical education. Woodlands East prioritizes small class sizes and a supportive atmosphere, encouraging students to develop critical thinking skills and social responsibility. By fostering a close-knit partnership between families, staff, and the local community, the school aims to prepare students for success in high school and beyond while nurturing their individual interests and talents.
