District-Level NCES Analysis

Cedarburg School District operates 6 public schools serving 3,091 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,108 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ozaukee County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,293 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 54.2% local, 37.2% state, and 8.6% 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 $70,854 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 15/100, ranked #383 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (25 AP courses district-wide), a 307.1:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.

Cedarburg High accounts for 34.5% of all Cedarburg School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cedarburg 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.

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% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
