a 203:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 2.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 59.1% African American, 8.4% Hispanic or Latino, 2.0% White across the district's schools.

Leflore Legacy Academy accounts for 84.2% of all Leflore Legacy Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Leflore Legacy Academy a distant remainder — means Leflore Legacy Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: middle. 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.
Leflore Legacy Academy reports 100.0% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. 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.
Leflore Legacy Academy student-counselor ratio is 203:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Leflore Legacy Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 2.0% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Leflore Legacy Academy has 1 school, including 1 middle. Total enrollment is 241 students.
