District-Level NCES Analysis
Warren County Sd operates 9 public schools serving 3,911 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 3 combined, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Warren County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,254 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 32.4% local, 51.3% state, and 16.3% 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 80/100, ranked #41 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 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 318:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 46.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.4% White, 1.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sheffield Area El Sch, with a diversity index of 16.0/100.
Its largest campus is Warren Area Hs, enrolling 704 students (19% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sheffield Area El Sch, at 198 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Warren Area Hs accounts for 18.0% of all Warren County Sd student enrollment
That concentration means Warren County Sd-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.
Warren County Sd school enrollment varies 3.6× across entities
Warren County Sd school enrollment ranges from 198 students (lowest) to 704 students (highest), a spread of 506 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Warren County Sd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 92.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Warren County Sd student-counselor ratio is 318:1 — 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 Warren County Sd is typically wider than the Warren County Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Warren County Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 46.8% — 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.
Warren County Sd has 9 schools, including 1 high, 5 elementary, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 3,911 students.
