That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy a distant remainder — means Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy student-counselor ratio is 949:1 — 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.
