District-Level NCES Analysis
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd operates 3 public schools serving 762 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 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 Blair County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,092 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 25.2% local, 57.7% state, and 17.1% 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 78/100, ranked #60 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.
a 306:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.6% White, 1.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Claysburg-Kimmel El Sch, with a diversity index of 12.6/100.
Its largest campus is Claysburg-Kimmel El Sch, enrolling 346 students (48% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Claysburg-Kimmel Jr Hs, at 102 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Claysburg-Kimmel El Sch accounts for 45.4% of all Claysburg-Kimmel Sd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Claysburg-Kimmel Sd a distant remainder — means Claysburg-Kimmel Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd school enrollment ranges from 102 students (lowest) to 346 students (highest), a spread of 244 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.
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 92.3% 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.
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd student-counselor ratio is 306:1 — 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 Claysburg-Kimmel Sd is typically wider than the Claysburg-Kimmel Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Claysburg-Kimmel Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8% — 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 Claysburg-Kimmel Sd is typically wider than the Claysburg-Kimmel Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
