District-Level NCES Analysis
Crestwood Sd operates 3 public schools serving 2,840 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 combined 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 Luzerne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,461 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 68 of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 58.3% local, 34.3% state, and 7.4% 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 16/100, ranked #622 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 563.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 5.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.6% White, 5.7% Hispanic or Latino, 3.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fairview El Sch, with a diversity index of 31.8/100.
Its largest campus is Crestwood Secondary Campus, enrolling 1,379 students (51% of the district's total enrollment).
Crestwood Secondary Campus accounts for 48.6% of all Crestwood Sd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Crestwood Sd a distant remainder — means Crestwood 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.
Crestwood Sd school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Crestwood Sd school enrollment ranges from 612 students (lowest) to 1,379 students (highest), a spread of 767 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.
Crestwood Sd student-counselor ratio is 564:1 — 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.
Crestwood Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 5.7% — 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.
