District-Level NCES Analysis

Kewaskum School District operates 4 public schools serving 1,789 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 1,803 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 $14,092 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 48.0% local, 41.0% state, and 11.0% 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 $64,446 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 19/100, ranked #369 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 414.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.2% White, 3.7% Hispanic or Latino, 1.9% African American across the district's schools.

Kewaskum High accounts for 34.7% of all Kewaskum School District student enrollment

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

Kewaskum School District student-counselor ratio is 414:1 — 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.

Kewaskum School District chronic absenteeism rate is 16.5% — 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 Kewaskum School District is typically wider than the Kewaskum School District-aggregate figure suggests.
