District-Level NCES Analysis
Lenape Tech operates 1 public schools serving 581 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Armstrong County.
The funding mix is 73.5% local, 17.6% state, and 8.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 293:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 21.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.3% White, 0.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Lenape Tech, enrolling 586 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Lenape Tech accounts for 100.0% of all Lenape Tech student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lenape Tech a distant remainder — means Lenape Tech-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.
Lenape Tech student-counselor ratio is 293:1 — 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 Lenape Tech is typically wider than the Lenape Tech-aggregate figure suggests.
Lenape Tech chronic absenteeism rate is 21.5% — 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 Lenape Tech is typically wider than the Lenape Tech-aggregate figure suggests.
