District-Level NCES Analysis
Envision Science Academy operates 1 public schools serving 741 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Carolina.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,505 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 322 North Carolina districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 28/100, ranked #211 of 293 in North Carolina against a state average of 45, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Envision Science Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Envision Science Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Envision Science Academy a distant remainder — means Envision Science Academy-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.
Envision Science Academy student-counselor ratio is 380:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Envision Science Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 13.4% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Envision Science Academy has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 741 students.
