Shorewood Hills offers small-town charm surrounded by a big city, and data show it's Madison's top suburb.�

The village of 1,568 residents, nestled between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Hilldale Shopping Center, topped Madison Magazine's ratings for the second time.

The magazine surveyed residents of Dane County's suburbs, weighting issues based on responses. It then used data to determine how each community fared on each issue, such as public safety, property taxes, and schools.

"Overall, Shorewood Hills delivered," said Madison Magazine writer Mary Erpenbach, who looked at all the data. "Increasingly in communities, you can find more of what you need without going to Madison."

Shorewood Hills got high scores in its public safety funding, low property taxes, schools, and parks and recreation.

Tracking software helped police reunite a man with his iPhone after he was mugged, according to Madison police.

The 22-year-old Madison man said he was in the 900 block of Regent Street on Saturday at 1:30 a.m. when a group of men ran up behind him. He said one of the men gave him a bear hug while others went through his pockets. The men were unable to get the victim?s wallet, but took his iPhone and hat.

Police said tracking software was used to find the phone in the area of North Randall Street and Johnson Street. The phone was damaged but operable. Police said the phone appeared to have been thrown.

The victim said he was hit in the head during the mugging.

The man who grabbed the victim is described as black, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 200-230 pounds with a shaved head and tattoo on his forearm. He was wearing denim shorts and Air Jordan shoes.

Police said four other men were involved in the mugging.

The Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools will focus its efforts for the foreseeable future on the achievement gap and STEAM education, according to Executive Director Stephanie Hayden.

"We just felt that it was true to our mission and our vision for all schools to be successful, and so we knew the achievement gap had to be part of our focus moving forward," she said.

STEAM refers to the traditional STEM education -- science, technology, engineering and mathematics -- but  includes the arts.
