Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.

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.
