District-Level NCES Analysis
Keystone Central Sd operates 9 public schools serving 3,497 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 elementary, 2 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Clinton County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,571 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 41.1% local, 47.1% state, and 11.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 66/100, ranked #146 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 256.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.6% White, 4.4% Hispanic or Latino, 1.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Robb El Sch, with a diversity index of 35.3/100.
Its largest campus is Central Mountain Hs, enrolling 1,013 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Bucktail Hs, at 101 students, a 10x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Central Mountain Hs accounts for 29.0% of all Keystone Central Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Keystone Central 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.
Keystone Central Sd school enrollment varies 10× across entities
Keystone Central Sd school enrollment ranges from 101 students (lowest) to 1,013 students (highest), a spread of 912 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.
Keystone Central Sd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 54.3% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants 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.
Keystone Central Sd student-counselor ratio is 257:1 — 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 Keystone Central Sd is typically wider than the Keystone Central Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Keystone Central Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 23.3% — 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 Keystone Central Sd is typically wider than the Keystone Central Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Keystone Central Sd has 9 schools, including 2 high, 7 elementary. Total enrollment is 3,497 students.
