District-Level NCES Analysis
Beloit School District operates 14 public schools serving 5,165 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 combined, 4 elementary, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Rock County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,087 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.1% local, 65.4% state, and 16.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 77/100, ranked #39 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 14 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 357.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 34.3% Hispanic or Latino, 29.9% White, 23.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Beloit Early Learning, with a diversity index of 72.6/100.
Its largest campus is Memorial High, enrolling 1,305 students (22% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Beloit Early Learning, at 43 students, a 30x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Memorial High accounts for 22.3% of all Beloit School District student enrollment
That concentration means Beloit School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Beloit School District school enrollment varies 30× across entities
Beloit School District school enrollment ranges from 43 students (lowest) to 1,305 students (highest), a spread of 1,262 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Beloit School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 75.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Beloit School District student-counselor ratio is 357:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Beloit School District chronic absenteeism rate is 47.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Beloit School District has 14 schools, including 1 high, 4 elementary, 9 combined. Total enrollment is 5,165 students.
