a 266.9:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 30.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 68.9% White, 21.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.

Jamestown Elementary accounts for 93.2% of all Jamestown Elementary student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Jamestown Elementary a distant remainder — means Jamestown Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Jamestown Elementary student-counselor ratio is 267:1 — 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 Jamestown Elementary is typically wider than the Jamestown Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
Jamestown Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 30.2% — 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.
