The Mequon-Thiensville School District has achieved a ranking of “Significantly Exceeds Expectations” on the 2023-2024 District Report Cards issued in November 2024 by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) with an overall score of 83.1. The district's ranked score is the 10th highest, or in the top 3%, among 367 K-12 public school districts in the state. MTSD has significantly exceeded expectations in all ten years that the District Report Cards have been produced.

This achievement is a reflection of the collective dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. While there are many ways to measure and rank a school district, we are consistently appreciative of the unwavering commitment and collaboration that make a positive impact on our children’s growth and learning. We are deeply grateful for everyone who plays a part in shaping our shared achievements.

Voters in the Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD) approved a $26.4 million operational referendum by a margin of 52% yes to 48% no - the first approved operational referendum in the school district’s history -  to maintain and sustain the district’s operations. This decision reflects the community's commitment to investing in our high-quality public education system and supporting the needs of our students and staff members.

At its August 19 meeting, the Mequon-Thiensville School District Board of Education approved an operating referendum question that will appear on the ballot Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The measure was approved by a vote of 6-1 and marks the first proposed MTSD operating referendum since 2006.

The ballot question will ask Mequon and Thiensville residents to approve a resolution authorizing the district budget to exceed the revenue limit by a total of $26.4 million over four years for non-recurring purposes. The tax impact of an approved referendum would be an increase of $0.73 for every $1,000 of assessed property value in our community. For a home with a fair market value of $400,000 the total tax impact over four years is estimated to at $948.
