District-Level NCES Analysis

Green Lake School District operates 2 public schools serving 297 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 276 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Green Lake County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,539 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 85.8% local, 7.5% state, and 6.7% 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 $76,440 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 50/100, ranked #212 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (21 AP courses district-wide), a 115.2:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 11.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.8% White, 6.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Green Lake High accounts for 50.4% of all Green Lake School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Green Lake School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Green Lake School District student-counselor ratio is 115:1 — 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.

Green Lake School District chronic absenteeism rate is 11.6% — 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.
