District-Level NCES Analysis

Hartford UHS School District operates 1 public schools serving 1,316 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,324 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Washington County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,214 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 53.7% local, 37.2% state, and 9.1% 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 $70,303 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 36/100, ranked #297 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (41 AP courses district-wide), a 264.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 30.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.2% White, 10.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% Asian across the district's schools.

Hartford High accounts for 100.0% of all Hartford UHS School District student enrollment

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

Hartford UHS School District student-counselor ratio is 265:1 — 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 Hartford UHS School District is typically wider than the Hartford UHS School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Hartford UHS School District chronic absenteeism rate is 30.4% — 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.
