District-Level NCES Analysis
Wyoming Area Sd operates 4 public schools serving 2,033 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 combined 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 Luzerne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,854 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 672 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 50.3% local, 40.5% state, and 9.2% 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 61/100, ranked #197 of 649 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 462.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 53.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.3% White, 10.5% Hispanic or Latino, 4.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Wyoming Area Primary Ctr, with a diversity index of 41.2/100.
Its largest campus is Wyoming Area Sec Ctr, enrolling 929 students (47% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Wyoming Area Kindergarten Ctr, at 121 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wyoming Area Sec Ctr accounts for 45.7% of all Wyoming Area Sd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Wyoming Area Sd a distant remainder — means Wyoming Area Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Wyoming Area Sd school enrollment varies 7.7× across entities
Wyoming Area Sd school enrollment ranges from 121 students (lowest) to 929 students (highest), a spread of 808 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.
Wyoming Area Sd reports 99.5% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Wyoming Area Sd student-counselor ratio is 462:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Wyoming Area Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 53.4% — 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.
Wyoming Area Sd has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 3 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,033 students.
