District-Level NCES Analysis
Pulaski Community School District operates 7 public schools serving 3,775 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 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 Brown County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,136 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 43 of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.3% local, 58.7% state, and 9.0% 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 35/100, ranked #298 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (22 AP courses district-wide), a 433.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 14.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.8% White, 3.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hillcrest Elementary, with a diversity index of 40.2/100.
Its largest campus is Pulaski High, enrolling 1,165 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fairview Elementary, at 99 students, a 12x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Pulaski High accounts for 30.3% of all Pulaski Community School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Pulaski Community School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Pulaski Community School District school enrollment varies 12× across entities
Pulaski Community School District school enrollment ranges from 99 students (lowest) to 1,165 students (highest), a spread of 1,066 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Pulaski Community School District student-counselor ratio is 434:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Pulaski Community School District chronic absenteeism rate is 14.4% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
