a 73.8:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.4% White, 24.9% Hispanic or Latino, 19.1% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means DEAF/BLIND-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.

DEAF/BLIND school enrollment ranges from 65 students (lowest) to 179 students (highest), a spread of 114 students.

DEAF/BLIND has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 78.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
DEAF/BLIND student-counselor ratio is 74:1 — 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.
DEAF/BLIND chronic absenteeism rate is 26.4% — 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 DEAF/BLIND is typically wider than the DEAF/BLIND-aggregate figure suggests.
