Thoughts on school statistics for the five districts in Door County
Gibraltar narrowly edges out Sevastopol as the most top-heavy school district in the county. Administrative employees made up 47.19% of Gibraltar's staff, compared to 45.34% of Sevastopol's staff. These and other school statistics, up to the 2021-2022 school year, were published in an easy-to-use manner last February. They are available from the links near the end of the post.
Washington Island had the lowest percentage of administrative employees, at 25.46%, and spent the most per student, at $31,872.
Southern Door spent the least per student, at $15,486, with the second lowest percentage of local funding, 67.72%. Sturgeon Bay had the lowest percentage of local funding, at 59.52%. The average increase in funding per student, per year, starting in 2015-2016, was the least for Southern Door.
From 2015-2016 to 2021-2022, enrollment fell at all five districts. Losses ranged from Sturgeon Bay losing 134 students to Sevastopol's loss of 9 students.
Washington Island has a smaller enrollment and the year-to-year figures ranged in a more random manner than for the other districts. The graph shows it losing 23 students over the six years, but that could have been due to random factors rather than a trend.
The average annual of number of abortions from the years where county figures are available, 2010 to 2021, is nearly 16 per year. It is possible to get an estimate for the total number of aborted children who would have been of school age by multiplying the annual average by 16. Although the years do not quite correspond to the birth years of primary and secondary students, it is good enough if annual abortions are mostly stable rather than trending upwards or downwards. Assuming this, in 2021-2022 Door County was deprived of an estimated 206 students, who instead had been killed in abortions.
Abortions are a major factor hurting school enrollment. Compared to the 2021-2022 enrollment with 3,256 students at the five districts, on average for every 16 students, there would have been one additional student if it hadn't been for the abortions.
