The district's equity score is 72/100, ranked #63 of 410 in Minnesota against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 168:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 48.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.1% Hispanic or Latino, 10.7% White, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.
Academia Cesar Chavez Chtr School accounts for 61.4% of all Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch. student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch. a distant remainder — means Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch.-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch. has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 70.0% 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 approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch. student-counselor ratio is 168:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Academia Cesar Chavez Charter Sch. chronic absenteeism rate is 48.5% — 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.
