a 248.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 75.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.7% White, 7.5% African American, 5.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Its largest campus is Apollo Career Center, enrolling 745 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).

Apollo Career Center accounts for 90.4% of all Apollo student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Apollo a distant remainder — means Apollo-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.

Apollo student-counselor ratio is 248:1 — 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.

Apollo chronic absenteeism rate is 75.4% — 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.
