District-Level NCES Analysis
Carmichaels Area Sd operates 3 public schools serving 960 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Greene County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,529 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 27.7% local, 59.1% state, and 13.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 57/100, ranked #241 of 648 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 311.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 52.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.3% White, 0.7% African American, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Carmichaels Area Ms, with a diversity index of 11.1/100.
Its largest campus is Carmichaels Area El Ctr, enrolling 433 students (46% of the district's total enrollment).
Carmichaels Area El Ctr accounts for 45.1% of all Carmichaels Area Sd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Carmichaels Area Sd a distant remainder — means Carmichaels Area Sd-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.
Carmichaels Area Sd school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Carmichaels Area Sd school enrollment ranges from 208 students (lowest) to 433 students (highest), a spread of 225 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.
Carmichaels Area Sd student-counselor ratio is 311:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Carmichaels Area Sd is typically wider than the Carmichaels Area Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Carmichaels Area Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 52.0% — 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.
Carmichaels Area Sd has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 960 students.
