That concentration means Cusd 308-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.
Cusd 308 school enrollment varies 8.3× across entities
Cusd 308 school enrollment ranges from 345 students (lowest) to 2,870 students (highest), a spread of 2,525 students. That spread sits on the wider side of typical variation and reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Cusd 308 student-counselor ratio is 324:1: slightly below the ~408 national average, 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 Sitting just under the national figure still leaves meaningful room for sub-unit variation that the aggregate number hides. Variation between sub-units within Cusd 308 is typically wider than the Cusd 308-aggregate figure suggests.
Cusd 308 chronic absenteeism rate is 15.0%: slightly below the ~28 national average, aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Sitting just under the national figure still leaves meaningful room for sub-unit variation that the aggregate number hides. Variation between sub-units within Cusd 308 is typically wider than the Cusd 308-aggregate figure suggests.
