District-Level NCES Analysis
Wilson Sd operates 8 public schools serving 6,389 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 middle, 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 Berks County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,960 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 671 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 70.0% local, 21.9% state, and 8.1% 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 #464 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (29 AP courses district-wide), a 307.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 7.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.3% White, 29.6% Hispanic or Latino, 6.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Cornwall Terrace El Sch, with a diversity index of 67.4/100.
Its largest campus is Wilson Hs, enrolling 2,133 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Green Valley El Sch, at 505 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wilson Hs accounts for 33.1% of all Wilson Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Wilson 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.
Wilson Sd school enrollment varies 4.2× across entities
Wilson Sd school enrollment ranges from 505 students (lowest) to 2,133 students (highest), a spread of 1,628 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.
Wilson Sd student-counselor ratio is 308:1 — 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 Wilson Sd is typically wider than the Wilson Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Wilson Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 7.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Wilson Sd has 8 schools, including 1 high, 2 middle, 5 elementary. Total enrollment is 6,389 students.
