District-Level NCES Analysis

Tyrone Area SD operates 3 public schools serving 1,759 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,674 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Blair County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,521 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 30.8% local, 57.5% state, and 11.7% 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 $69,791 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #502 of 659 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 279:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 37.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.5% White, 1.3% African American, 0.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Tyrone Area El Sch accounts for 40.7% of all Tyrone Area SD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Tyrone Area SD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Tyrone Area SD student-counselor ratio is 279:1 — 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 Tyrone Area SD is typically wider than the Tyrone Area SD-aggregate figure suggests.

Tyrone Area SD chronic absenteeism rate is 37.0% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
