District-Level NCES Analysis
Peshtigo School District operates 3 public schools serving 1,079 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 Marinette County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,502 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 30.8% local, 56.8% state, and 12.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 51/100, ranked #199 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 50.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 28.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.1% White, 3.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Peshtigo Middle, with a diversity index of 17.5/100.
Its largest campus is Peshtigo Elementary, enrolling 580 students (55% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Peshtigo Middle, at 151 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Peshtigo Elementary accounts for 53.8% of all Peshtigo School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Peshtigo School District a distant remainder — means Peshtigo 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.
Peshtigo School District school enrollment varies 3.8× across entities
Peshtigo School District school enrollment ranges from 151 students (lowest) to 580 students (highest), a spread of 429 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.
Peshtigo School District student-counselor ratio is 50:1 — 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.
Peshtigo School District chronic absenteeism rate is 28.0% — 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 Peshtigo School District is typically wider than the Peshtigo School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Peshtigo School District has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,079 students.
