During the first semester of the 2008-09 organizational year, Ladysmith- Hawkins Middle School operated 102 semester sections of which 53 course sections or 52.0% enrolled less than 20 students/section; 45 course sections or 44.1% enrolled 20-25 students/section; 1 course section or 1.0% enrolled 26-29 students/sections; and 3 course sections or 2.9% enrolled 30 or more students/section. The Project Consultants concluded that Ladysmith-Hawkins School District operated a moderately high level of cost/ineffective middle school course sections during the 2008-09 organizational year.

The Project Consultants concluded that Ladysmith-Hawkins High School operated a substantial number of course sections with enrollments of less than 20 students/section (at a cost/ineffective level) during the 2008-09 organizational year. As time elapses and student enrollment declines, the school district can anticipate reductions in teaching/learning staff and course offerings, accompanied by increasing cost/ineffectiveness in course section sizes at both the middle school and high school levels. During the 2008-09 organizational year, Weyerhaeuser Area School District Secondary School conducted 53 first semester course sections of which 49 sections or 92.5% enrolled less than 20 students/section (at a cost/ineffective level). Additionally, the secondary school operated 4 course sections or 7.5% with enrollments of 20-25 students/section. The secondary school offered no course sections enrolling 26-29 students/section or 30 students or larger/section.
