Elmwood High School strives to provide students with a high-quality education that allows them to meet the challenges of today's ever-changing world. With approximately 100 students enrolled, and over 15 dedicated staff members, Elmwood High School offers academic and extra-curricular opportunities that enrich the high school experience. Due to the size of Elmwood, students have the unique advantage of very small class sizes and small group instruction that meets the needs of a variety of learners. We have a culture of achievement, where we have set district ACT records in the last two academic years, which place us in great company with the best high schools in Wisconsin. Educators at Elmwood are devoted to embracing this culture to create a safe and caring environment focused on respect, responsibility, and community. If you would like to see our facilities or learn more about the district, we encourage you to come to Elmwood where I will personally meet with you for a tour and discuss the offerings at Elmwood.

Appealing Curriculum
Reading

Elmwood strives to ensure that reading is at the forefront of all academic activities, which includes new curriculum in our middle level grades.

Math

Elmwood MS/HS offers research based math courses that meet the needs and abilities of all students. Starting in the 2020-21 school year, Elmwood phased in CPM Math, which is the highest rated curriculum on the market.  We phased this curriculum in with our 6th grade students in Core Connections I, and with our 8th grade and 9th grade students in Integrated Math I, formerly Algebra I.

In the 2022-23 school year, we completed our transition with CPM with Core Connections III in the middle school, and Integrated Math III, formerly Algebra II. We are also continuing a Math Reasoning course through CVTC, where students can gain additional transcripted credit.

Science

In the 2023-24 school year, we transitioned our 6-8th grade science curriculum to OpenSciEd, one of the top science curriculums available.

Enrichment Opportunities

Students will have an opportunity at Elmwood High School to take course work that will enrich their lives. Whether it is art, music, physical education, digital design, or Battle of the Chefs, students have almost all elective choices that will pique their interest.
