Research Leopold Elementary School public Schools in Janesville, Wisconsin

“Leopold is unique in that it has bilingual students, poverty level students, middle class students, and upper class students. It is incredibly diverse in race and economics which in my opinion... is what makes Leopold such a great school. If you are house searching, please do yourself a favor and visit this school. Leopold may not look great on paper because of the number of special needs and English as a Second Language learners trying to understand the context and and writien rules of English, which doesn't translate well in standardized tests, but this school has heart and life lessons that involve how to respect others and learn with people different than ourselves.”

“My son attended Leopold for Kindergarten and 1st grade, and I then transferred him to another school for 2nd. I feel the principal is very uptight, and cannot relate to the children. She is worried about her job, and not well being of the kids. Many of the teachers seem to be too busy to focus on kids needs, and appear very stressed at times due to class size. There doesn't appear to be a lot of order to many classrooms there, with way too many people in and out all day long. This makes it difficult to get answers from teachers about how the children are doing, because they don't even participate in a lot of the learning experience with the children.”

“Teachers are completely limited with how they can control the class. Gym teacher is fabulous.”

“The principal at Leopold is a bit uptight that is for certain but the teachers and other parents are just wonderful. I had a child here for three years and they met her needs in unusual circumstances. The gym teacher is exceptional, art and music are so-so, and the dances, parties and fairs are a great deal of fun. She got a great education and loved this school. Gramma”

“Leopold doesn't know how to deal with gifted kids. Yet they seem to work well with low end kids. Principal is not supportive. There are stronger schools in the district.”
