District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,145 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 74.0% local, 1.3% state, and 24.7% 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 41/100, ranked #404 of 648 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 373.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 46.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.5% African American, 1.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs, enrolling 747 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs accounts for 96.5% of all Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs a distant remainder — means Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 99.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs student-counselor ratio is 374:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Boys Latin of Philadelphia Cs chronic absenteeism rate is 46.7% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
