a 580:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, . Demographically, the student body averages 82.4% Hispanic or Latino, 9.1% White, 5.7% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Academy of Math and Science, enrolling 580 students (73% of the district's total enrollment).
Academy of Math and Science accounts for 73.2% of all Academy of Mathematics and Science Inc. (79961) student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Academy of Mathematics and Science Inc. (79961) a distant remainder — means Academy of Mathematics and Science Inc. (79961)-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.
Academy of Mathematics and Science Inc. (79961) has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.8% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants 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.
Academy of Mathematics and Science Inc. (79961) student-counselor ratio is 580:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
