District-Level NCES Analysis
Norris School District operates 2 public schools serving 33 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 $72,273 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 43 of 423 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 60.2% local, 33.5% state, and 6.4% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 10:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 52.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 51.2% White, 39.0% African American, 9.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Norris Academy Virtual School, enrolling 21 students (68% of the district's total enrollment).
Norris Academy Virtual School accounts for 63.6% of all Norris School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Norris School District a distant remainder — means Norris School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Norris School District student-counselor ratio is 10:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Norris School District chronic absenteeism rate is 52.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Norris School District has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 33 students.
