National city placement

Compact system with teacher-dense staffing

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Angola has more public-school enrollment than 18% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Angola is a comparatively small school market by total enrollment, yet its average student-teacher ratio is lower than most cities in the national comparison set. Small scale can make that staffing pattern easier to sustain, but it can also limit the breadth of specialized programs available at any one campus. The school list below shows whether students are concentrated in one combined-grade campus or distributed across separate elementary, middle, and high-school settings.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Angola's list includes 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high-school campus, plus 1 combined-grade record. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

Economic-need coverage is incomplete

Free-lunch eligibility is reported for schools covering 51.6% of Angola's listed enrollment. Because the remaining enrollment is outside that calculation, the measured percentage should not be generalized to every local student. The Resource Investment Index uses other reported federal fields and has its own coverage limits. Treat the city figures as a map of available records: inspect a campus's source fields before using economic need or resource position in a comparison.

Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Boces accounts for 28.8% of all Angola public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Angola-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Angola school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities

Angola school enrollment ranges from 247 students (lowest) to 675 students (highest), a spread of 428 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Angola student-teacher ratio is 8.5:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.

Data from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) 2021-22. The Resource Investment Index uses reported student-teacher ratio, counselor access, gifted programs, and attendance; it is not an academic rating. Cities must include at least five schools to be listed. This public-data comparison is for informational purposes: verify current enrollment, attendance boundaries, and programs with the school district before acting.
