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 Variation between sub-units within East Greenbush Central School District is typically wider than the East Greenbush Central School District-aggregate figure suggests.
