District-Level NCES Analysis
Penncrest Sd operates 6 public schools serving 2,548 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 3 combined 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 Crawford County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,638 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 33.5% local, 55.1% state, and 11.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 67/100, ranked #137 of 648 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 399.8:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.5% White, 1.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Saegertown Jshs, with a diversity index of 16.8/100.
Its largest campus is Maplewood El Sch, enrolling 454 students (19% of the district's total enrollment).
Maplewood El Sch accounts for 17.8% of all Penncrest Sd student enrollment
That concentration means Penncrest 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.
Penncrest Sd student-counselor ratio is 400:1 — 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.
Penncrest Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 20.2% — 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 Penncrest Sd is typically wider than the Penncrest Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
