St. Peter Catholic School

What St. Peter Catholic School does

St. Peter Catholic School (legal name: Saint Peter Catholic School) is a private Catholic elementary school located at 206 E Washington Street, Slinger, Wisconsin, founded in 1881-1882 as part of St. Peter Parish. The school serves students from 3-year-old kindergarten (3K) through 5th grade and operates as a nonprofit educational institution under the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, with curriculum standards exceeding Wisconsin Common Core requirements. It is embedded in a Tri-Parish community comprising St. Peter Parish (Slinger), Resurrection Parish (Allenton), and St. Lawrence Parish (Town of Hartford), which provides a built-in enrollment pipeline and shared spiritual leadership including a Shared Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Deacon.

The school delivers faith-based academic instruction with capped class sizes of 20 students for 3K/4K programs and 25 students for grades 5K-5th, supported by teacher aides maintaining a 1:10 ratio in Pre-K sections. Technology infrastructure includes SMART Boards in every classroom, iPads for early learners, and 1:1 Google Chromebooks for grades 3-5 (installed during 2012 renovations), alongside a gymnasium renovated in 2019. Supplementary offerings include before/after school and summer child care, individual music lessons (piano, violin, percussion), choir, Junior Achievement programming, extracurricular clubs, and hot lunch service via the Slinger School District.

St. Peter Catholic School generates revenue through multiple streams: recurring tuition payments from families, participation in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (School Choice) for income-eligible families, SCRIP gift card fundraising rebates (60-40 split favoring purchaser), annual Dinner Auction fundraising with tiered sponsorships ($50 to $1,500+), and one-time/recurring online donations via the WeShare platform. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the school office, with the website (spcsslinger.org) and Facebook page serving as primary marketing channels. Transportation is outsourced to GO Riteway under an arrangement with the Slinger School District, which also dictates weather-related scheduling. The institution employs approximately 20-25 staff members including principal Cheryl Jaeger, grade-level teachers, specialty teachers (Spanish, Art, Music, PE, Health), aides, and maintenance/custodial personnel.

Emerging players

• Heritage Christian Schools: Interdenominational Christian K-12 school system based in the greater Milwaukee area (Brookfield/New Berlin). Comparable as a faith-based private school competing for similar Christian-minded Wisconsin families, but non-Catholic and operating at a larger multi-campus scale.
• Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School: Lutheran secondary school located in Jackson, WI, just minutes from Slinger. Comparable faith-based K-12 school operating in the same local market as St. Peter and drawing from similar Wisconsin working-family demographics, though Lutheran rather than Catholic.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Memorial High School: Catholic co-ed secondary school in Waukesha, WI, part of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee system. Overlaps in faith-based positioning and feeder relationship to Catholic elementary schools, but operates at a different (secondary) grade level.
• Divine Savior Holy Angels: Catholic all-girls secondary school in Milwaukee under the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Comparable faith-based operating model and feeder relationship to Catholic K-8 schools, though single-gender and at secondary grade level.
• Marquette University High School: Jesuit Catholic all-boys secondary school in Milwaukee, WI. Comparable faith-based college-prep identity and Archdiocese-aligned feeder relationships, but operates at high-school scale and as a single-gender institution.
• Pius XI Catholic High School: Catholic college-prep high school in Milwaukee under the Archdiocese. Comparable faith-based, archdiocesan-aligned operating model and family segment, though serves older students and at materially larger scale.

Direct peers

• Seton Catholic Schools: Operates a network of Catholic K-8 elementary schools across Milwaukee under the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Comparable to St. Peter as a parish-affiliated Catholic elementary school using the same Archdiocesan curriculum framework and serving similar faith-based family segments.
• St. Mary's Springs Academy: Catholic K-12 school in Fond du Lac, WI, also governed by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Comparable governance, curriculum standards, and Catholic family target market, though it spans a wider grade range than St. Peter.
