District Report Card
The Department of Public Instruction just released the public-facing Accountability Report Cards. We are excited to report that Muskego-Norway once again significantly exceeds expectations. Please follow this link to view the district's report card which provides details for each priority area score. Individual school report card results will be shared by building principals.
The State's report card provides us an opportunity to compare Muskego-Norway to the other 367 K-12 districts in the STATE. Muskego-Norway ranks:
- 5th (99th percentile) in our overall report card score
- 2nd in Mathematics achievement
- 7th in English Language Arts achievement
We are so grateful for the continued support and focus of our staff, parents, and School Board on our mission of Every Student Learning, Growing…Succeeding. Thank you!

Master Planning Update
Construction at Muskego High School and Lakeview Elementary remains on schedule to be completed for the 2024-25 school year. We are excited for the dedicated gymnasium at Lakeview Elementary and the S.T.E.A.M. & Health Science additions at Muskego High School and the host of opportunities these facilities will bring to students and the community.
Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey
Muskego-Norway Schools is committed to engaging our parents and families in every child’s education. To continue our journey to excellence in this area, we gather data from stakeholders to determine where we are as a district and to set and act on realistic, measurable goals for continuous improvement. The Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey allows parents/caregivers to provide feedback on their experience with their child’s school.
This year’s survey window will be open for Elementary Schools from November 16-December 13 and for Middle and High Schools from November 17-December 13. Each school will be sharing a link via the weekly family newsletter. If you do not receive a link, please contact the building administrator of the respective school your child(ren) attends. Thank you in advance for making time to complete the survey and provide feedback about your experiences with our schools, which should take no more than five (5) minutes. As a reminder, the window to provide feedback will remain open through December 13, 2023.
Student Experience Committee Update
The Student Experience Committee has been meeting monthly with the collective goal of working towards improving the overall student experience for every student in our district. This committee is made up of parents and staff from each school to have districtwide representation.
So far, the committee has:
- Looked at past student survey data
- Discussed how we compare to other districts at a national level
- Begun to look for themes in the data and discuss possible action steps for the committee
We are grateful for the continued work of this group and look forward to sharing additional updates with you as the committee continues to meet throughout the year. If you have any questions about this committee, please reach out to Robin Schrot, Assistant Superintendent for Continuous Improvement, at robin.schrot@muskegonorway.org or Erica Branson, Director of Student Services, at erica.branson@muskegonorway.org.
