a 250:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 24.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.0% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Gackle-Streeter 56 a distant remainder — means Gackle-Streeter 56-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
