The funding mix is 49.9% local, 41.1% state, and 9.0% 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 $80,418 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 57/100, ranked #236 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 87.2:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 13.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.9% White, 5.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% African American across the district's schools.

Pandora-Gilboa High School accounts for 35.0% of all Pandora-Gilboa Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Pandora-Gilboa Local-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.

Pandora-Gilboa Local has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.8% 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 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.
