The funding mix is 39.7% local, 49.1% state, and 11.3% 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 $84,568 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 68/100, ranked #90 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
