a 152:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 23.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.9% Hispanic or Latino, 39.5% African American, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.
East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) accounts for 100.0% of all East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) a distant remainder — means East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs)-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 94.7% 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). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding 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.
East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) student-counselor ratio is 152:1 — 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.
East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) chronic absenteeism rate is 23.7% — 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 East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs) is typically wider than the East Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (Ebacs)-aggregate figure suggests.
