Mequon named top K-12 district in state
By Jeff Rumage
Mequon — For the second consecutive year, the Mequon-Thiensville School District has been named the top K-12 school district in the state by the state's Department of Public Instruction.
The DPI released report cards this week for all Wisconsin public schools and school districts for the 2013-14 school year. Mequon-Thiensville ranked as the top K-12 school district in the state of Wisconsin with an overall accountability score of 86.1. This is the second consecutive year Mequon-Thiensville has received this recognition.
"I want to thank our students, teachers and parents for their continued commitment to our district's success," said Mequon-Thiensville Superintendent Demond Means. "The report cards reinforce the educational excellence that we model each and every day at all six of our schools."
All six of MTSD's schools scored 83 or higher on the DPI issued school report cards, meaning they all "Significantly Exceed Expectations."
Mequon-Thiensville, Fox Point-Bayside and Whitefish Bay all reached the DPI's top standard: "significantly exceeds expectations." Nicolet, Glendale-River Hills, Maple Dale-Indian Hills and Shorewood all reached the next tier: "exceeds expectations." Brown Deer "meets expectations," according to the DPI.
Here's how North Shore districts scored on the report cards:
