Oneida Nation School System is a tribal K-12 school in Oneida, Wisconsin. It is affiliated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE),[1] and serves the Oneida Nation.

It has a 162,000-square-foot (15,100 m2) 38-classroom elementary school building and a separate high school building. In 2001 the enrollment of the high school was slightly above 100.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

The elementary school opened in 1994 and the high school opened in 1995. The initial number of employees was eight to ten and initial enrollment of the elementary was 35.[2]

In January 2007 the tribal council and school administration saw a wave of poor student behavior and decided to voluntarily close the school for a week and revise policies so discipline would return to normal. A student quoted in an article in the Green Bay Gazette felt the move was an overreaction.[3]

Athletics

[edit | edit source]

As of 2008 it was common for sports teams to have insufficient students and not meet for a particular year as the school had a relatively low population. That year the high school started a competitive lacrosse team at the junior varsity level.[4]
