District-Level NCES Analysis
Rosendale-Brandon School District operates 5 public schools serving 959 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary 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 Fond Du Lac County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,863 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 40.2% local, 51.0% state, and 8.8% 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 24/100, ranked #350 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 298:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 8.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.2% White, 4.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Brandon Elementary, with a diversity index of 19.4/100.
Its largest campus is Laconia High, enrolling 318 students (35% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Rosendale Intermediate, at 83 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Laconia High accounts for 33.2% of all Rosendale-Brandon School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Rosendale-Brandon 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.
Rosendale-Brandon School District school enrollment varies 3.8× across entities
Rosendale-Brandon School District school enrollment ranges from 83 students (lowest) to 318 students (highest), a spread of 235 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.
Rosendale-Brandon School District student-counselor ratio is 298:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Rosendale-Brandon School District is typically wider than the Rosendale-Brandon School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Rosendale-Brandon School District chronic absenteeism rate is 8.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
