Merton Community School District is a 4K-8 grade public school district in southeastern Wisconsin that serves roughly 1000 students in a small rural community 20 miles west of Milwaukee. Merton Primary School (grades 4-year-old kindergarten through third grade) and Merton Intermediate School (fourth grade through eighth grade) are located in the Village of Merton in Waukesha County. Merton is located west of Sussex and North of Hartland in the Village of Merton. Students live in the Towns of Merton and Lisbon as well as the Village of Merton. The district consists of a small business center, rural areas, and over thirty subdivisions ranging from five to fifty homes at each site.

Students who complete the required program of studies attend prestigious Hartland Arrowhead Union High School in the Town of Merton. This school contains grades 9-12 and includes 2000+ students from Merton, Hartland, Lake Country, Stone Bank, North Lake, Richmond and Swallow School Districts. These districts make up a consortium for transportation, curriculum and staff development services; each one under a separate Wis. State Statue 66.30 agreement.

Merton is the second largest of the seven K-8 districts feeding into Arrowhead Union High School. The district boasts state-of-the-art facilities and purchased an additional 37 acre site for possible future school building needs.
