The School District of Menomonee Falls is committed to using benchmarked and rigorous standards that set the highest expectations for student performance and prepare students in the District for success in college and career development. In order to align expectations for students with key external assessments used for entrance into college and preparation for viable career pathways (examples include SAT, ACT), the School Board is committed to supporting the College and Career Readiness standards for reading, math, science, and language arts and corresponding standards in other content areas that align skills and concepts with the deep understanding required through the College and Career Readiness standards developed by ACT.

The School Board realizes the importance of community values and positioning students competitively for the global employment market. The Board reviews and approves standards in various areas with the goal of setting high expectations that leverage students for success beyond high school. Primary instructional materials are reviewed and approved by the Board.
