National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Perkasie has more public-school enrollment than 55% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Pennridge Hs enrolls 42.8% of Perkasie's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Perkasie's list includes 4 elementary, 3 middle, and 2 high-school campuses. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Perkasie lists only 9 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 30 to 2,125 students, a 71-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Pennridge Hs accounts for 42.8% of all Perkasie public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Perkasie-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. 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.

Perkasie school enrollment varies 71× across entities

Perkasie school enrollment ranges from 30 students (lowest) to 2,125 students (highest), a spread of 2,095 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. 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.

Perkasie student-teacher ratio is 11.3:1 — low (typically associated with smaller schools or per-school staffing investment that often correlates with stronger per-student supports)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
