District-Level NCES Analysis

Kohler School District operates 3 public schools serving 714 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 Sheboygan County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,473 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 43 of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 88.4% local, 8.5% state, and 3.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 4/100, ranked #403 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 305:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 2.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.7% White, 9.5% Hispanic or Latino, 7.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Kohler Elementary, with a diversity index of 41.6/100.

Its largest campus is Kohler Elementary, enrolling 337 students (45% of the district's total enrollment).

Kohler Elementary accounts for 45.1% of all Kohler School District student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Kohler School District a distant remainder — means Kohler 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.

Kohler School District student-counselor ratio is 305:1 — 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 Kohler School District is typically wider than the Kohler School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Kohler School District chronic absenteeism rate is 2.7% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
