Public School Enrollment Data

Public Enrollment

The data used in the enrollment reports was collected from districts as part of the ISES (Individual Student Enrollment System ) based on WSLS (Wisconsin Student Number Locator System) and reported as of the third Friday in September. Enrollment is a headcount of students receiving primary educational services from the district as of the third Friday in September.

All public enrollment reports start with PE in the file name. The last two digits of the file name indicate the end of the school year. For example, 00 represents the 1999-2000 school year, or 01 represents the 2000-2001 school year. Data may be provided at various levels, such as statewide, district, or school.

2004-05 ENROLLMENT DATA DISCLAIMER

Major changes in Wisconsin data collection systems were implemented in 2004-05. 2004-05 enrollment data were included in this transition year collection and are not comprehensive so should be interpreted with caution.
