Homestead High School in Brown Deer, Wisconsin

“I have 3 children go through this school. The 2 boys coped well with the challenging pace but felt the clicks, competitiveness lead to unhappiness. The oldest son graduated out of uwsp and now is in Law School. He had spent 2 years at Rufus King prior and in looking back states he got more out of the teachers at this school. He felt that Homestead was not supportive in building self esteem and ended up having no friendships there. The next son also did not like the school but due to his ability to cope with the cariculum, did well. My daughter however is an average student and needed help. Help needed was not given and so someone very talented and bright crumbled and her self esteem destroyed due to the encouraged competitiveness and lack of control the school has over the demeaning clicks. Comradship,self awareness is missing.”

“I am a former student of Homestead High School and I must say how pleased I am with how well the school prepares you for college. I was just as nervous as the next student my freshman year of college, but I was so relieved that all my hard work paid off. The faculty at HHS have your best interest in mind, and are very focused on helping you succeed. The guidance department is phenomenal as well. I highly recommend this school, and Mequon-Thiensville School District as a whole to those looking for a great place to send their kids for an education. HHS is located in a wonderful, safe, family orientated community.”

“District is not what it used to be or could be again. My eldest went through the school 10 years ago. My youngest just started. Classes are much more full, some well over 30 students in one class. Teacher quality and personal attention has dropped off as well. It seems that some really good faculty have just picked up and left. I would recommend looking around before sending your kids here.”

“Hands down, Homestead High School is the best high school in the state of Wisconsin, whether private or public. No other schools compare to the quality of administration, faculty ad college preparation , stated the previous post. Phenomenal performances in sports teams year after year, outstanding academics, holding the highest average ACT score in the state, patient and helpful teachers in all subject areas, a huge variety of classes to take including a large number of AP classes, and a National Blue Ribbon school, this is the place to attend grade 9-12. Located in Mequon, WI, a very wealthy and family oriented community, homestead is well supported by the local residents. Parental involvment is very great at Homestead, which helps this school succeed. This nationally recognized school is definitely a school to consider, if you are looking for your children to have a well prepared future in whatever they desire!”

“I would also like to say that Homestead is the finest school all of Wisconsin-public or private. Nearby private/prep schools cannot compare with Homestead as far as quality of administration, faculty, and college preparation. The school boasts the highest ACT scores in WI (WI has highest average ACT scores in the US), is an absolute powerhouse for sports, and gives every child the opportunity to succeed. The community is affluent and family-oriented, which only stengthens the values taught at Homestead. I agree with a previous review that stated, 'If you're moving to WI, this is the school you want to send your kids to.' HHS's English program is incredible- easily the best I've ever seen (my three children went to three different high schools). HHS also earned commendation as a National Blue Ribbon School as part of the No Child Left Behind Program in 2004 (one of only two in WI).”

“Homestead gives you so many oppurtunties to excel. Not only does it prepare you for college it prepares you for life. Without the excellent staff, and enviornment I would not be where I am today.”

“I am a student at Homestead High School and I love this school because there are so many classes you have to choose from and the extracurricular activities are great. We have some of the best coaches for a lot of our sports and so many students that attend Homestead have a positive attitude about it because we know we are getting probably the best education provided in the area.”

“Best school in the state. Better than the private university prep school. More AP courses, more opportunities. If you're moving to Milwaukee, this is the suburb to move to if public schooling is a priority.”
