District-Level NCES Analysis
Norway J7 School District operates 1 public schools serving 80 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Racine County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,700 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 66.0% local, 23.3% state, and 10.7% 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 272.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 6.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.9% White, 21.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Drought Elementary, enrolling 109 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Drought Elementary accounts for 100.0% of all Norway J7 School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Norway J7 School District a distant remainder — means Norway J7 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.
Norway J7 School District student-counselor ratio is 273:1 — 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 Norway J7 School District is typically wider than the Norway J7 School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Norway J7 School District chronic absenteeism rate is 6.4% — 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.
