Madison's only "school in the round" has been known as an innovative school since its opening in 1966. Strong teaching teams in grades K-5 share a philosophy that all children can learn and are included in all school activities and classrooms. An active parent organization supports many school activities and promotes multicultural experiences. An outdoor learning center and school prairie are part of our environment. |

Huegel students have consistently scored at or above the state and national standards on the Terra Nova, the fourth grade Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE), and the Wisconsin Third Grade Reading Test.
Computers are used to support and extend learning throughout the curriculum. We have a fully equipped computer lab for the children. Computers are also available in our Library Media Center (LMC).
Teacher specialists in art, music and physical education provide regular instruction. REACH (Reinforcing and Enriching Achievement for All CHildren) extends and supports classroom curriculum. Huegel's Parent, Teacher and Children Association (PTCA) has also sponsored after school enrichment classes in foreign language, crafts, fine arts and movement.
Student learning experiences include a broad range of opportunities that push a student to their next level of challenge and allows them to develop their talents. Differentiated programming may occur in the classroom, or in other settings. Programming is determined by ongoing evaluation and assessment of individual student needs.
Huegel is a Gateways school with a focus on balanced literacy. In addition, Huegel offers a Reading Recovery Program, Title I, an after school homework club for students in grades 1-5, and after school extra-curricular programming. We have a full-day kindergarten program at Huegel.

Playgrounds have adult supervision 15 minutes before school and during recess. Each year, we train 50-55 school safety patrols who promote safety rules in our school and help children cross at our nearby street crossings. We have implemented a "Peaceful Playground" program.
All children in grades K-5 have the opportunity to participate in our spring fine arts and choral programs. In addition to musicals performed at grades 1-2, 3 and 4-5, grade 4-5 students may elect to participate in strings.

Huegel School as established an individual school endowment through the Foundation for Madison's Public Schools. Recently, Huegel teachers applied for and received grant money to fund both a restoration initiative for our prairie and "Love and Logic" training for our school and community.
The "Pride of the Prairie" welcomes anyone who is interested in visiting a successful school that promotes learning for all and challenges each student to reach his or her potential.
