District-Level NCES Analysis
Passport Academy Cs operates 1 public schools serving 134 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high 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 Allegheny County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $23,373 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 68 of 672 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 82.4% local, 0.5% state, and 17.1% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 146:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 61.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.4% African American, 7.5% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Passport Academy Cs, enrolling 146 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses fell 26.1% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (134 to 99 students), and the student-teacher ratio tightened by 13.4 students per teacher as staffing held steadier than enrollment, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $3,947,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 37.6% went to instruction, 41.7% to support services, and 18.4% to capital outlay, a capital-heavy year, consistent with active construction, renovation, or major equipment purchases.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Passport Academy Cs a distant remainder — means Passport Academy Cs-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Passport Academy Cs student-counselor ratio is 146:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Passport Academy Cs chronic absenteeism rate is 61.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
