a 196:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 52.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.7% African American, 6.1% Hispanic or Latino, 3.1% White across the district's schools.

Delasalle Charter High School accounts for 100.0% of all Delasalle Charter School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Delasalle Charter School a distant remainder — means Delasalle Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Delasalle Charter School reports 98.4% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Delasalle Charter School student-counselor ratio is 196:1 — 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.
Delasalle Charter School chronic absenteeism rate is 52.0% — 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.
Delasalle Charter School has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 187 students.
