District-Level NCES Analysis
Cassville School District operates 2 public schools serving 172 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Grant County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,110 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 43 of 423 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.9% local, 41.8% state, and 14.3% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 85.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 23.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.0% White, 0.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Cassville Elementary, enrolling 92 students (54% of the district's total enrollment).
Cassville Elementary accounts for 53.5% of all Cassville School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cassville School District a distant remainder — means Cassville School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Cassville School District student-counselor ratio is 86:1 — 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.
Cassville School District chronic absenteeism rate is 23.7% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Cassville School District is typically wider than the Cassville School District-aggregate figure suggests.
