District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,679 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 812 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 4.4% local, 65.2% state, and 30.4% 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 73/100, ranked #53 of 702 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 243.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 75.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.4% African American, 13.9% Hispanic or Latino, 2.8% White across the district's schools.
Academy for Business and Technology Elementary accounts for 51.7% of all Academy for Business and Technology student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Academy for Business and Technology a distant remainder — means Academy for Business and Technology-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Academy for Business and Technology reports 93.8% 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.
Academy for Business and Technology student-counselor ratio is 244:1 — 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.
Academy for Business and Technology chronic absenteeism rate is 75.8% — 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.
