District-Level NCES Analysis

Arbor Preparatory High School operates 1 public schools serving 280 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 278 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Washtenaw County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,857 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 30.6% local, 57.7% state, and 11.6% 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 — 58/100, ranked #242 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 347.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 62.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 50.4% African American, 19.8% White, 15.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Arbor Preparatory High School accounts for 100.0% of all Arbor Preparatory High School student enrollment

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

Arbor Preparatory High School student-counselor ratio is 348:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Arbor Preparatory High School is typically wider than the Arbor Preparatory High School-aggregate figure suggests.

Arbor Preparatory High School chronic absenteeism rate is 62.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
