a 110:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.5% Hispanic or Latino, 20.3% African American, 10.1% White across the district's schools.

Da Vinci Communications accounts for 100.0% of all Da Vinci Communications District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Da Vinci Communications District a distant remainder — means Da Vinci Communications District-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.
Da Vinci Communications District student-counselor ratio is 110:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Da Vinci Communications District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.5% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — 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 Variation between sub-units within Da Vinci Communications District is typically wider than the Da Vinci Communications District-aggregate figure suggests.
