No composite rating, no opinion-based score on top. You get the same raw numbers researchers and policymakers use, with benchmarks, spending context, and equity indicators computed from the same federal datasets. Full methodology linked below.

What this school's NCES data tells you

Escuela Verde reports 121 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 8.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 0% above the Wisconsin state mean of 15.1:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 4% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 90.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 136% above the Wisconsin average and 75% above the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 42.1% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 20/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
