High Grades for Chippewa Valley Schools

In March 2009 almost 500 residents participated in our community survey.  More than 83% of all respondents and 97.6% of CVS parents surveyed said they would recommend our school district to others. When asked what is the single best thing about Chippewa Valley Schools the top responses included teachers and staff, curriculum, variety of classes offered, reputation, and quality education. When asked what is the district’s biggest challenge respondents cited a lack of school funding followed by overcrowding and space needs.
