The funding mix is 16.7% local, 65.2% state, and 18.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 75/100, ranked #28 of 293 in North Carolina against a state average of 45 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 249:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 22.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 66.9% White, 10.0% Hispanic or Latino, 8.8% African American across the district's schools.

Arapahoe Charter School accounts for 100.0% of all Arapahoe Charter School student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Arapahoe Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Arapahoe Charter School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 53.3% 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.

Arapahoe Charter School student-counselor ratio is 249:1 — 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.

Arapahoe Charter School chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5% — 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 Arapahoe Charter School is typically wider than the Arapahoe Charter School-aggregate figure suggests.
