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 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Tuscarawas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,420 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 46.8% local, 36.4% state, and 16.8% 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 32/100, ranked #623 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less 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 (9 AP courses district-wide), a 521:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, 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. Its most demographically mixed campus is West Elementary Pre School, with a diversity index of 50.2/100.
Its largest campus is New Philadelphia High School, enrolling 748 students (26% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is West Elementary Pre School, at 35 students, a 21x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
New Philadelphia High School accounts for 26.1% of all New Philadelphia City student enrollment
That concentration 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 school enrollment varies 21× across entities
New Philadelphia City school enrollment ranges from 35 students (lowest) to 748 students (highest), a spread of 713 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
New Philadelphia City student-counselor ratio is 521:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
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.
New Philadelphia City has 9 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 4 elementary, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 2,864 students.
