District-Level NCES Analysis
Horicon School District operates 3 public schools serving 799 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Dodge County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,803 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 49.1% local, 41.6% state, and 9.3% 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 31/100, ranked #317 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 762.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 15.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.9% White, 10.6% Hispanic or Latino, 2.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Horicon Elementary School, with a diversity index of 43.8/100.
Its largest campus is Horicon Elementary School, enrolling 372 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
Horicon Elementary School accounts for 46.6% of all Horicon School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Horicon School District a distant remainder — means Horicon School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Horicon School District school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Horicon School District school enrollment ranges from 152 students (lowest) to 372 students (highest), a spread of 220 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.
Horicon School District student-counselor ratio is 763:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Horicon School District chronic absenteeism rate is 15.2% — 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 Horicon School District is typically wider than the Horicon School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Horicon School District has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 799 students.
