National city placement

Broad resource and staffing advantage

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Fond Du Lac has more public-school enrollment than 67% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Fond Du Lac lands in the upper national tier on both the average Resource Investment Index and teacher staffing intensity. Those measures come from different inputs: the index combines reported counselors, gifted access, attendance, and staffing, while the staffing percentile compares the city's student-teacher ratio directly. Agreement across both measures is stronger evidence of broad reported capacity than either score alone, though neither is a test-score rating or a guarantee about an individual classroom.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

12 of Fond Du Lac's 17 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

Campus spread matters more than the city mean

The 33-point gap between Evans Elementary and Chegwin Elementary shows the range hidden by Fond Du Lac's average Resource Investment Index. The city figure is useful for national placement, but families ultimately choose among campuses with different grade spans, enrollment, district affiliations, and reported support fields. Start with schools serving the relevant grade level, then compare the index components rather than assuming the city average describes any one classroom.

Fond Du Lac High accounts for 29.4% of all Fond Du Lac public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Fond Du Lac-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Fond Du Lac school enrollment varies 1917× across entities

Fond Du Lac school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 1,917 students (highest), a spread of 1,916 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Fond Du Lac student-teacher ratio is 13.0:1 — low (typically associated with smaller schools or per-school staffing investment that often correlates with stronger per-student supports)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

2 of Fond Du Lac's 17 listed schools are charters

12% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD.
