5 public K-12 schools in Kimberly from NCES Common Core of Data: enrollment, grade span, demographics, and Civil Rights Data Collection statistics for every active campus.
According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Kimberly has more public-school enrollment than 36% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Kimberly High enrolls 45.6% of Kimberly's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.
A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary
Kimberly's list includes 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high-school campus, plus 1 combined-grade record. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.
Campus spread matters more than the city mean
The 42-point gap between Mapleview Intermediate and 4k Center for Literacy shows the range hidden by Kimberly'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.

Kimberly High accounts for 45.6% of all Kimberly public-school enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Kimberly a distant remainder — means Kimberly-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.
Kimberly school enrollment varies 5.9× across entities
Kimberly school enrollment ranges from 271 students (lowest) to 1,587 students (highest), a spread of 1,316 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. 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.
Kimberly operates one school district — a single-district system
Kimberly's listed schools share one district boundary, budget authority, and reporting chain. That makes citywide and districtwide governance easier to compare, but it does not make individual campuses uniform: grade configuration, staffing, programs, and student need can still vary materially within the same school district.
Kimberly student-teacher ratio is 17.2:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure
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 Variation between sub-units within Kimberly is typically wider than the Kimberly-aggregate figure suggests.
Most racially and ethnically mixed schools in Kimberly
Ranked by the Simpson student-body diversity index (0-100) from NCES race and ethnicity data, where higher means a more evenly mixed student body. It measures mix, not quality.
Which Kimberly school has the highest Resource Investment Index? ▼

How many schools are in Kimberly, WI? ▼
Kimberly has 5 public schools with a total enrollment of 3,481 students. Average student-teacher ratio: 17.2:1.
Data from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) 2021-22. The Resource Investment Index uses reported student-teacher ratio,
counselor access, gifted programs, and attendance; it is not an academic rating. Cities must include at least five schools to be listed. This public-data comparison is for informational purposes:
verify current enrollment, attendance boundaries, and programs with the school district before acting. See the guide to understanding NCES data.
