District-Level NCES Analysis
Osseo-Fairchild School District operates 3 public schools serving 806 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 Trempealeau County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,294 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 36.2% local, 48.5% state, and 15.3% 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 75/100, ranked #53 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably more 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 (4 AP courses district-wide), a 249:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 45.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.0% White, 3.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Osseo-Fairchild Middle, with a diversity index of 18.5/100.
Its largest campus is Osseo-Fairchild Elementary, enrolling 367 students (49% of the district's total enrollment).
Osseo-Fairchild Elementary accounts for 45.5% of all Osseo-Fairchild School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Osseo-Fairchild School District a distant remainder — means Osseo-Fairchild 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.
Osseo-Fairchild School District school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Osseo-Fairchild School District school enrollment ranges from 161 students (lowest) to 367 students (highest), a spread of 206 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Osseo-Fairchild School District student-counselor ratio is 249:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Osseo-Fairchild School District chronic absenteeism rate is 45.7% — 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.
