District-Level NCES Analysis

Muskego-Norway School District operates 6 public schools serving 4,767 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 elementary, 1 high 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 Waukesha County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,073 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 49.0% local, 44.0% state, and 7.1% 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 26/100, ranked #339 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 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (22 AP courses district-wide), a 558.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.0% White, 7.6% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mill Valley Elementary, with a diversity index of 29.1/100.

Its largest campus is Muskego High, enrolling 1,634 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lakeview Elementary, at 290 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Muskego High accounts for 34.3% of all Muskego-Norway School District student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Muskego-Norway 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.

Muskego-Norway School District student-counselor ratio is 559:1 — 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.

Muskego-Norway School District chronic absenteeism rate is 9.2% — 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.
