District-Level NCES Analysis
Yough Sd operates 5 public schools serving 1,796 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high 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 Westmoreland County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,156 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 41.4% local, 50.9% state, and 7.8% 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 45/100, ranked #367 of 649 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 319.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.2% White, 1.6% African American, 1.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Yough Shs accounts for 32.6% of all Yough Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Yough Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Yough Sd school enrollment varies 3.3× across entities
Yough Sd school enrollment ranges from 181 students (lowest) to 592 students (highest), a spread of 411 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.
Yough Sd student-counselor ratio is 319:1 — 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 Yough Sd is typically wider than the Yough Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
Yough Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Yough Sd is typically wider than the Yough Sd-aggregate figure suggests.
