District-Level NCES Analysis
Cedarburg School District operates 6 public schools serving 3,091 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 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 Ozaukee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,647 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 43 of 423 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 54.2% local, 37.2% state, and 8.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 15/100, ranked #388 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (25 AP courses district-wide), a 307.1:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 8.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.8% White, 3.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.8% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Parkview Elementary, with a diversity index of 26.4/100.
Its largest campus is Cedarburg High, enrolling 1,073 students (35% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Early Learning Center, at 13 students, a 83x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Cedarburg High accounts for 34.5% of all Cedarburg School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Cedarburg School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates 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.
Cedarburg School District school enrollment varies 83× across entities
Cedarburg School District school enrollment ranges from 13 students (lowest) to 1,073 students (highest), a spread of 1,060 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Cedarburg School District student-counselor ratio is 307:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Cedarburg School District is typically wider than the Cedarburg School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Cedarburg School District chronic absenteeism rate is 8.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
