The district's equity score is 37/100, ranked #453 of 649 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 115:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 66.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.1% African American, 3.9% Hispanic or Latino, 3.0% White across the district's schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Propel Cs-Hazelwood a distant remainder — means Propel Cs-Hazelwood-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Propel Cs-Hazelwood student-counselor ratio is 115:1 — 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.
Propel Cs-Hazelwood chronic absenteeism rate is 66.1% — 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.
