Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward district is a fascinating and architecturally impressive commercial, arts, and residential area with a wealth of creative businesses and artists. Located at the mouth of the Milwaukee river, this former warehouse district has become a booming mixed-use area with a lot of charm.
Located just south of downtown, the Historic Third Ward is on a short peninsula wedged between the convergence of the Milwaukee and Kinnickinnick rivers into Lake Michigan and is adjacent to Milwaukee's famous Summerfest grounds.
The neighborhood is home to award-winning restaurants, the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, dozens of galleries, and unique specialty stores. In 2005, the Milwaukee Public Market opened its doors, showcasing dozens of vendors and artisan culinary specialists.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
