The district as a whole is ranked 5th out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating its exceptional performance.
Merton Primary is a standout school, consistently ranking among the top 30 elementary schools in Wisconsin over the past three school years, with a ranking of 22nd out of 1,044 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. This places the school in the top 2.1% of elementary schools statewide. Merton Primary students consistently outperform their peers at the district and state levels on the Forward Exam, with proficiency rates ranging from 74.36% in 3rd grade ELA to 88.61% in 3rd grade Math, significantly higher than the state averages.
While Merton Primary's overall performance is impressive, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate that the school serves a more affluent population. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $10,555 suggest that the district is allocating resources effectively to support student learning and well-being. The consistency of Merton Primary's strong performance over multiple school years further demonstrates the district's commitment to maintaining high-quality educational outcomes.
