District-Level NCES Analysis

Moniteau SD operates 2 public schools serving 1,147 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,092 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Butler County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,083 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 33.8% local, 58.0% state, and 8.2% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $76,471 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 55/100, ranked #268 of 659 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), and 18.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.5% White, 0.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Moniteau SD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

Moniteau SD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 95.3% 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 — including this one — 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.

Moniteau SD chronic absenteeism rate is 18.4% — 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 Moniteau SD is typically wider than the Moniteau SD-aggregate figure suggests.
