District-Level NCES Analysis
Three Lakes School District operates 4 public schools serving 519 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Oneida County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,939 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 43 of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 79.4% local, 11.5% state, and 9.1% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 69/100, ranked #88 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 335.1:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 90.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That dominant concentration means Three Lakes 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.
Three Lakes School District school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Three Lakes School District school enrollment ranges from 73 students (lowest) to 160 students (highest), a spread of 87 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Three Lakes School District student-counselor ratio is 335:1 — 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 Three Lakes School District is typically wider than the Three Lakes School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Three Lakes School District chronic absenteeism rate is 90.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
