District-Level NCES Analysis

Pepin Area School District operates 2 public schools serving 234 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 225 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Pepin County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,446 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 66.9% local, 20.1% state, and 13.0% 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 $93,471 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 64/100, ranked #115 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), and 17.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.3% White, 4.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.8% African American across the district's schools.

Pepin Elementary accounts for 51.1% of all Pepin Area School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Pepin Area School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Pepin Area School District chronic absenteeism rate is 17.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within Pepin Area School District is typically wider than the Pepin Area School District-aggregate figure suggests.
