District-Level NCES Analysis

Woodland Hills Sd operates 5 public schools serving 3,123 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Allegheny County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,014 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 55.8% local, 33.2% state, and 11.0% 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 81/100, ranked #38 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 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 312.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 55.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.6% African American, 21.7% White, 7.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Wilkins El Steam Academy, with a diversity index of 66.6/100.

Its largest campus is Woodland Hills Hs, enrolling 1,006 students (32% of the district's total enrollment).

Woodland Hills Hs accounts for 32.2% of all Woodland Hills Sd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Woodland Hills 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.

Woodland Hills Sd school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities

Woodland Hills Sd school enrollment ranges from 447 students (lowest) to 1,006 students (highest), a spread of 559 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Woodland Hills Sd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 97.9% 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.

Woodland Hills Sd student-counselor ratio is 312:1 — 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 Woodland Hills Sd is typically wider than the Woodland Hills Sd-aggregate figure suggests.

Woodland Hills Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 55.1% — 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.
