Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,420 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.5% local, 66.0% state, and 33.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 82/100, ranked #4 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 279:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 82.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.0% African American, 14.3% White, 4.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Grand Blanc Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Grand Blanc Academy student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Grand Blanc Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Grand Blanc Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 91.7% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants 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.

Grand Blanc Academy student-counselor ratio is 279:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Grand Blanc Academy is typically wider than the Grand Blanc Academy-aggregate figure suggests.

Grand Blanc Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 82.4% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
