An overview of Mequon public schools
The federal directory lists 6 public schools in Mequon, WI: 3 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 6 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 3,553 students, an average of 592 per school. The largest campus is Homestead High (1,204 students), and the largest elementary school is Wilson Elementary (558).
Every listed school belongs to Mequon-Thiensville School District. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 13.9:1, higher than the statewide school median of 13.2:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 12% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
