About Craig Montessori School

Craig Montessori School sits in a quiet Milwaukee neighborhood where mornings feel steady, parents waiting a moment in their cars, kids holding art projects from the day before, and teachers greeting families like it’s all part of a long routine. The school follows the Montessori style, so learning feels slower and more hands-on, but state math data usually shows proficiency levels slightly below the Wisconsin average. Teachers, though, spend a lot of time guiding students individually, which helps kids who need that extra bit of attention. Families around here often compare Craig Montessori with a few nearby options. Maryland Avenue Montessori draws families looking for stronger math scores, and Fernwood Montessori has been gaining attention for steady academic progress. Some parents wanting even higher math proficiency check a few charter schools closer to the East Side. The nearest major high school is Riverside University High School, known for sending students into strong arts, sports, and early college programs. A typical three-bedroom home in this part of Milwaukee usually rents somewhere between $1,750 and $2,100, depending on the block and the condition of the house. The neighborhood has a relaxed, family-friendly feel, with older trees, small parks, and a mix of long-time residents and new families settling in.
