District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,944 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 672 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 64/100, ranked #168 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 495.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 40.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 40.0% African American, 33.5% White, 7.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Greater Johnstown El Sch accounts for 38.1% of all Greater Johnstown Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greater Johnstown Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Greater Johnstown Sd school enrollment varies 8.1× across entities
Greater Johnstown Sd school enrollment ranges from 140 students (lowest) to 1,133 students (highest), a spread of 993 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. 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.
Greater Johnstown Sd student-counselor ratio is 496:1 — 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.
Greater Johnstown Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 40.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
