Cudahy School District operates 6 public schools serving 2,093 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 1,985 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 $19,407 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 36.9% local, 51.4% state, and 11.7% 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 $95,978 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 78/100, ranked #32 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 (8 AP courses district-wide), a 230.8:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 36.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 47.8% White, 32.8% Hispanic or Latino, 8.7% African American across the district's schools.
Cudahy High accounts for 32.4% of all Cudahy School District student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cudahy 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.
Cudahy School District school enrollment varies 3.8× across entities
Cudahy School District school enrollment ranges from 171 students (lowest) to 644 students (highest), a spread of 473 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Cudahy School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 62.4% 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 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.
Cudahy School District student-counselor ratio is 231:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Cudahy School District chronic absenteeism rate is 36.1% — 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.
Cudahy School District has 6 schools, including 1 high, 4 other, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,093 students.
