What stands out about Northern Ozaukee School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +0.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Wisconsin's statewide +14.3% by 13.5 points, a growth rate faster than 5% of the 410 Wisconsin districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 8.4% here, from 1,030 students in FY2019 to 1,117 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
