District-Level NCES Analysis
Westfield School District operates 5 public schools serving 1,055 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Marquette County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,716 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 48.4% local, 34.7% state, and 16.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 38/100, ranked #280 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 (6 AP courses district-wide), a 429.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 41.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.8% White, 9.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Westfield Area High, with a diversity index of 29.8/100.
Its largest campus is Westfield Area High, enrolling 329 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Coloma Elementary, at 100 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Westfield Area High accounts for 30.9% of all Westfield School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Westfield 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.
Westfield School District school enrollment varies 3.3× across entities
Westfield School District school enrollment ranges from 100 students (lowest) to 329 students (highest), a spread of 229 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.
Westfield School District student-counselor ratio is 429:1 — 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.
Westfield School District chronic absenteeism rate is 41.2% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
