District-Level NCES Analysis
Greater Latrobe Sd operates 5 public schools serving 3,469 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Westmoreland County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,611 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 59.2% local, 34.0% state, and 6.8% 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 28/100, ranked #542 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 439.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.1% White, 2.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Latrobe El Sch, with a diversity index of 20.7/100.
Its largest campus is Greater Latrobe Shs, enrolling 1,115 students (34% of the district's total enrollment).
Greater Latrobe Shs accounts for 32.1% of all Greater Latrobe Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greater Latrobe 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.
Greater Latrobe Sd school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Greater Latrobe Sd school enrollment ranges from 499 students (lowest) to 1,115 students (highest), a spread of 616 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.
Greater Latrobe Sd student-counselor ratio is 440:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Greater Latrobe Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 22.0% — 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 Greater Latrobe Sd is typically wider than the Greater Latrobe Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
