District-Level NCES Analysis
Tech Freire Cs operates 1 public schools serving 461 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 Philadelphia County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,070 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 77.4% local, 0.9% state, and 21.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #474 of 648 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 270.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 60.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.1% African American, 5.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Tech Freire Cs, enrolling 541 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Tech Freire Cs accounts for 100.0% of all Tech Freire Cs student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Tech Freire Cs a distant remainder — means Tech Freire Cs-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.
Tech Freire Cs student-counselor ratio is 271:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Tech Freire Cs is typically wider than the Tech Freire Cs-aggregate figure suggests.
Tech Freire Cs chronic absenteeism rate is 60.6% — 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.
