District-Level NCES Analysis
Augusta School District operates 4 public schools serving 604 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Eau Claire County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,745 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 43 of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 36.8% local, 43.5% state, and 19.6% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 90/100, ranked #9 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 156:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 30.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.3% White, 2.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Augusta Middle, with a diversity index of 15.6/100.
Its largest campus is Augusta Elementary, enrolling 215 students (40% of the district's total enrollment).
Augusta Elementary accounts for 35.6% of all Augusta School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Augusta School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Augusta School District school enrollment varies 3.0× across entities
Augusta School District school enrollment ranges from 72 students (lowest) to 215 students (highest), a spread of 143 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Augusta School District student-counselor ratio is 156:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Augusta School District chronic absenteeism rate is 30.1% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Augusta School District has 4 schools, including 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 604 students.
