District-Level NCES Analysis
Gateway Sd operates 6 public schools serving 3,381 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 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 Allegheny County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,065 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 672 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 66.8% local, 24.8% state, and 8.4% 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 69/100, ranked #118 of 649 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 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), and 27.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.0% White, 29.6% African American, 6.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Evergreen El Sch, with a diversity index of 72.5/100.
Its largest campus is Gateway Shs, enrolling 1,152 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Dr Cleveland Steward Jr El Sch, at 292 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Gateway Shs accounts for 33.8% of all Gateway Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Gateway Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Gateway Sd school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities
Gateway Sd school enrollment ranges from 292 students (lowest) to 1,152 students (highest), a spread of 860 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.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Gateway Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 27.5% — 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 Gateway Sd is typically wider than the Gateway Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
