District-Level NCES Analysis

Williams Bay School District operates 3 public schools serving 672 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 597 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Walworth County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,554 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 89.2% local, 5.3% state, and 5.5% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $82,886 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 40/100, ranked #269 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 304:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 29.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.0% White, 9.7% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Williams Bay Elementary accounts for 47.2% of all Williams Bay School District student enrollment

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

Williams Bay School District student-counselor ratio is 304:1 — 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 Williams Bay School District is typically wider than the Williams Bay School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Williams Bay School District chronic absenteeism rate is 29.6% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within Williams Bay School District is typically wider than the Williams Bay School District-aggregate figure suggests.
