a 135:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, . Use the school table below to drill into any individual campus for its own demographic and resource profile.
Its largest campus is Living School, enrolling 135 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Living School accounts for 100.0% of all Living School Inc. student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Living School Inc. a distant remainder — means Living School Inc.-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Living School Inc. student-counselor ratio is 135:1 — 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.
