District-Level NCES Analysis

Horicon School District operates 3 public schools serving 799 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 772 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Dodge County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,722 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 49.1% local, 41.6% state, and 9.3% 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 $69,868 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 54/100, ranked #186 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 762.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, 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.

Horicon Elementary School accounts for 48.2% of all Horicon School District student enrollment

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

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.

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 — 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.

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.
