The district's equity score is 64/100, ranked #137 of 821 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 244.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 76.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 98.0% African American, 0.4% White, 0.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Citizens Leadership Academy East accounts for 78.2% of all Citizens Leadership Academy East student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Citizens Leadership Academy East a distant remainder — means Citizens Leadership Academy East-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Citizens Leadership Academy East student-counselor ratio is 245:1 — 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.
Citizens Leadership Academy East chronic absenteeism rate is 76.3% — 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.
