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

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.
