District-Level NCES Analysis
La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired operates 2 public schools serving 146 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in East Baton Rouge Parish.
a 36.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 25.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Use the school table below to drill into any individual campus for its own demographic and resource profile.
Its largest campus is Louisiana School for the Deaf, enrolling 89 students (61% of the district's total enrollment).
Louisiana School for the Deaf accounts for 61.0% of all La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired a distant remainder — means La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 86.5% 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.
La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired student-counselor ratio is 37:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired chronic absenteeism rate is 25.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired is typically wider than the La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired-aggregate figure suggests.
Comparisons are relative to La Schools for the Deaf and Visually Impaired's own figures; each column derives from NCES Common Core of Data and the F-33 Finance Survey.
