District-Level NCES Analysis
Atlantic Community Charter School operates 1 public schools serving 330 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Atlantic County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $25,916 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 649 New Jersey districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Jersey compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 68.3% local, 12.3% state, and 19.4% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 75/100, ranked #59 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 333:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 42.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 60.4% African American, 31.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.7% White across the district's schools.
Atlantic Community Charter School accounts for 100.0% of all Atlantic Community Charter School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Atlantic Community Charter School a distant remainder — means Atlantic Community Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Atlantic Community Charter School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 89.1% 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). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding 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.
Atlantic Community Charter School student-counselor ratio is 333:1 — 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 Atlantic Community Charter School is typically wider than the Atlantic Community Charter School-aggregate figure suggests.
Atlantic Community Charter School chronic absenteeism rate is 42.6% — 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.
