District-Level NCES Analysis
Greenfield School District operates 6 public schools serving 3,493 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 Milwaukee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,948 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.7% local, 45.5% state, and 10.8% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 53/100, ranked #183 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 421.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 18.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.8% White, 32.3% Hispanic or Latino, 10.2% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Edgewood Elementary, with a diversity index of 72.2/100.
Its largest campus is Greenfield High, enrolling 1,140 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Glenwood Elementary, at 307 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Greenfield High accounts for 32.6% of all Greenfield School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greenfield 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.
Greenfield School District school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Greenfield School District school enrollment ranges from 307 students (lowest) to 1,140 students (highest), a spread of 833 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.
Greenfield School District student-counselor ratio is 421:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Greenfield School District chronic absenteeism rate is 18.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — 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 Variation between sub-units within Greenfield School District is typically wider than the Greenfield School District-aggregate figure suggests.
