The funding mix is 25.8% local, 60.8% state, and 13.3% 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.

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