Student-teacher ratio in context
How Janssen Elementary compares with Wisconsin and U.S. medians
What stands out at Janssen Elementary
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Janssen Elementary is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Wisconsin schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Lower need and stronger resource signals align
Janssen Elementary reports lower free-meal eligibility than most Wisconsin schools and an above-typical Resource Investment Index. The two measures move together, a pattern consistent with the resource advantages that often accompany a lower-need intake. That association should not be mistaken for a causal verdict about the school; it is a transparent description of how this campus sits on two independent federal-data dimensions.
Student support operates inside a leaner district budget
Janssen Elementary's district reports $11,494 in per-pupil expenditure, at least 15% below the Wisconsin average of $14,919. That district-wide constraint gives the campus-level support fields added meaning: counselor loads, specialist staffing, and program access are being reported within a comparatively lean spending environment. F-33 does not publish this school's own budget, so the comparison describes district context rather than dollars assigned to this building.
Janssen Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Combined Locks, Wisconsin, enrolling 339 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 11.3:1 puts it in the smaller third of Wisconsin schools by student-teacher ratio.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 20.3% of students eligible for free meals.
With 339 students, its enrollment sits close to the Wisconsin median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 2,202 scored Wisconsin schools.

Its student body is predominantly White (85% of enrollment) (diversity index 27/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 339 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
13.3% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Kimberly Area School District spends $11,494 per pupil, 23% below the Wisconsin average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
