That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School a distant remainder — means Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

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 Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School is typically wider than the Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School-aggregate figure suggests.
Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School chronic absenteeism rate is 79.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
