Eagleville Elementary Charter School
A "charter" is another word for "contract," which we have with the Mukwonago Area School District. This contract states we will offer everything that the other Mukwonago District Schools offer, along with added enhancements. It also means we still have to meet the same standards and follow the same district guidelines for student performance, financial matters, effective school operations, etc.
Charter schools are public schools of choice that operate on three basic principles: Accountability: Charter schools are held accountable for how well they educate children in a safe and responsible environment. Autonomy: Charter schools have the freedom to be creative, innovative and flexible. Choice: Families choose to attend the charter school. No one is "zoned" to go to a charter institution.
Eagleville is proud to be Waukesha County's first elementary charter school!
What are the advantages of a Charter School?
Charter schools are in general: small in size, have a family-like atmosphere, use innovative ideas to teach, community minded, have strong parental involvement and support, and most have been converted schools as opposed to "newly developed schools".
EECS is an instrumentality of the Mukwonago Area School District. This means we are sponsored by the local school district. We are part of the district budget. Our pupils are counted into the formula used for state aid to the district. We continue to receive the same services other schools receive such as: transportation, food service, specialists, maintenance, etc. In addition to the traditional curriculum, Eagleville Elementary Charter School has specific enhancements it incorporates.
What are Eagleville's enhancements?
Eagleville's charter focuses on Environmental Education and Spanish.
What is the curriculum?
Eagleville follows the Mukwonago Area School District curriculum.
Does Eagleville have Special Education services?
Eagleville offers speech and language services, a reading specialist, and also an advanced learning program. If a student requires other additional services, an alternate placement in the district may be accessed/recommended.
