WISCONSIN — You can now find out if your local Wisconsin school district deserves the moniker "wealthy" or "poor." Looking at the list below, you may be surprised to see how your school district compares to everybody else.

Patch put together a list of Wisconsin school districts and ranked each one based on the percentage of students who are living in poverty, from highest to lowest (see list below). The numbers are U.S. Census poverty data derived from the most recent American Community Survey. The census listed all districts that responded to the survey. The survey calculates the estimated number of relevant children 5 to 17 years old in poverty who are related to the householder in each district.

While Milwaukee has the highest number of students living in poverty, there are actually three more districts with a higher percentage of students living in poverty. Schools like the Elmbrook School District in Brookfield-Elm Grove are significantly better off - even when compared with its neighbors. RANK DISTRICT NAME NUMBER OF
