PORT EDWARDS SCHOOL DISTRICT
About School District: The members of the Port Edwards Public School Community believe that we offer a unique and competitive educational opportunity. Nestled along the Wisconsin River our village and surrounding townships offer a family friendly atmosphere. We serve our youth and residents through a beautiful park system, intercity bike trails, and a community YMCA. This small suburban school district has a dedicated staff and an open flexible attitude toward instructional innovation. These qualities are key and allow us to address the academic and social needs of every student in an academy-like atmosphere. The District considers the residents of the Village of Port Edwards, the Townships of Seneca and Cranmoor, and the Moccasin Creek Mobile Home Park to be loyal Blackhawks. Our communities take pride in the traditions of the school district and take seriously our commitment to meeting the changing needs of today’s students. Our high school of approximately 150 students offers college preparatory classes through rigorous classroom instruction, collaborative programs, postsecondary options, and virtual instruction. The high school curriculum includes a full range of mathematics, science, social science, and language arts offerings. The vocational education departments play an important role in our services to students and include courses designed to prepare students for life, technical colleges and the work force. 77% of the graduating class of 2010 exited with plans for a postsecondary education. Our middle school students have access to career exploration courses and foreign language courses beginning in sixth grade. Our experienced middle school team works with the individual student to ensure that they are fully prepared for high school and the developmental transitions that are a part of adolescent growth. Our elementary school maintains small class sizes. For grades 4K-5 this ensures a personalized and successful start for our young learners. In cooperation with the YMCA our four-year-old kindergarten is located at John E. Alexander South Wood County YMCA. Our program is half days and is in session five days per week. The Port Edwards School Technology department is directed by a full time technology expert and our technology standards are integrated throughout the curriculum. Our buildings house four computer laboratories and a portable computer system in the middle school area.
