District-Level NCES Analysis
Abington Sd operates 9 public schools serving 8,543 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Montgomery County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,165 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 72.9% local, 22.1% state, and 5.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 44/100, ranked #374 of 648 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (29 AP courses district-wide), a 1077.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.7% White, 17.2% African American, 10.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Willow Hill Sch, with a diversity index of 73.6/100.
Its largest campus is Abington Shs, enrolling 2,692 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Willow Hill Sch, at 362 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Abington Shs accounts for 31.5% of all Abington Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Abington Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Abington Sd school enrollment varies 7.4× across entities
Abington Sd school enrollment ranges from 362 students (lowest) to 2,692 students (highest), a spread of 2,330 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Abington Sd student-counselor ratio is 1078:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Abington Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Abington Sd is typically wider than the Abington Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
