Shorewood Hills Elementary
Shorewood Hills Elementary is affectionately known for our diverse international student population. Many of our 450 4K-5th-graders are worldwide citizens. Approximately half of our students reside in Eagle Heights or University houses, the other half live in the Village of Shorewood Hills, the city of Madison or a neighboring city. We take tremendous pride in our culturally diverse demographics and utilize a Welcoming Schools approach to creating a respectful and supportive environment to embrace family, student, and staff diversity and prevent biases so we can all engage in meaningful learning.
