About Indian Community School

Indian Community School serves pre-kindergarten through 8th grade students in Franklin, Wisconsin, within Milwaukee County. The school enrolls 337 students with 26 full-time teachers and a 13:1 student-teacher ratio. No standardized test score data is available.

The school is located in a community near a town on the rural fringe of the Milwaukee metro area, where household incomes average over $103,000 and 44% of adults hold college degrees — a stable suburban-to-rural transition zone that provides a community-centered environment for this culturally distinctive school. The school community is large enough to offer a range of activities and peer relationships while maintaining a connected educational environment. Families in the area reflect a community invested in their children's futures, and the school draws from a neighborhood where education is a clear priority.

The rural setting provides a quiet, unhurried environment where students can focus on learning and grow as part of a close community.

What Parents Should Know

As a private school, Indian Community School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Located in a rural area, Indian Community School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
