District-Level NCES Analysis

Centennial Sd operates 6 public schools serving 5,317 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high 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 Bucks County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,980 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 68.6% local, 24.9% state, and 6.4% 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 55/100, ranked #251 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 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (21 AP courses district-wide), a 343.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 68.4% White, 17.5% Hispanic or Latino, 5.3% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mcdonald El Sch, with a diversity index of 56.7/100.

Its largest campus is William Tennent Hs, enrolling 1,710 students (32% of the district's total enrollment).

William Tennent Hs accounts for 32.2% of all Centennial Sd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Centennial 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.

Centennial Sd school enrollment varies 2.9× across entities

Centennial Sd school enrollment ranges from 599 students (lowest) to 1,710 students (highest), a spread of 1,111 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.

Centennial Sd student-counselor ratio is 344:1 — 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 Centennial Sd is typically wider than the Centennial Sd-aggregate figure suggests.

Centennial Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 9.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

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 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.
