Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,690 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 67.0% local, 26.9% state, and 6.1% 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 39/100, ranked #365 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 20 schools offering Advanced Placement (40 AP courses district-wide), a 230.7:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 15.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.7% White, 18.2% Hispanic or Latino, 8.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Pleasant Hill Elem School, with a diversity index of 63.9/100.
Its largest campus is Wheaton Warrenville South H S, enrolling 1,864 students (16% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Hawthorne Elem School, at 185 students, a 10x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wheaton Warrenville South H S accounts for 16.0% of all Cusd 200 student enrollment
That concentration means Cusd 200-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.
Cusd 200 school enrollment varies 10× across entities
Cusd 200 school enrollment ranges from 185 students (lowest) to 1,864 students (highest), a spread of 1,679 students. That spread sits on the wider side of typical variation and reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Cusd 200 student-counselor ratio is 231:1: on the low side (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.
Cusd 200 chronic absenteeism rate is 15.4%: slightly below the ~28 national average, 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 Sitting just under the national figure still leaves meaningful room for sub-unit variation that the aggregate number hides. Variation between sub-units within Cusd 200 is typically wider than the Cusd 200-aggregate figure suggests.
