Midd-West Sd operates 4 public schools serving 1,984 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 combined, 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 Snyder County.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 355.8:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 11.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.7% White, 0.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Middleburg El Sch, with a diversity index of 7.8/100.
Its largest campus is Midd-West Hs, enrolling 726 students (38% of the district's total enrollment).
Midd-West Hs accounts for 36.6% of all Midd-West Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Midd-West 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.
Midd-West Sd school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Midd-West Sd school enrollment ranges from 295 students (lowest) to 726 students (highest), a spread of 431 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.
Midd-West Sd student-counselor ratio is 356:1 — 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.
Midd-West Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 11.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
