District-Level NCES Analysis

New Philadelphia City operates 9 public schools serving 2,864 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 3 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,826 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Tuscarawas County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,877 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 46.8% local, 36.4% state, and 16.8% 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 $79,580 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 31/100, ranked #649 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 521:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 29.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.3% White, 26.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.

New Philadelphia High School accounts for 26.5% of all New Philadelphia City student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means New Philadelphia City-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.

New Philadelphia City student-counselor ratio is 521:1 — 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.

New Philadelphia City chronic absenteeism rate is 29.8% — 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 New Philadelphia City is typically wider than the New Philadelphia City-aggregate figure suggests.
