District-Level NCES Analysis

Brown Deer School District operates 2 public schools serving 1,655 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,613 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Milwaukee County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,703 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 43.1% local, 47.0% state, and 9.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $82,287 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 53/100, ranked #190 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), and 50.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.3% African American, 16.0% Asian, 12.2% White across the district's schools.

Brown Deer Middle/High accounts for 56.0% of all Brown Deer School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Brown Deer School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Brown Deer School District chronic absenteeism rate is 50.4% — 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.
