a 311.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 10.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That concentration means Lombard Sd 44-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: middle. 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.
Lombard Sd 44 school enrollment varies 5.9× across entities
Lombard Sd 44 school enrollment ranges from 159 students (lowest) to 935 students (highest), a spread of 776 students.

Lombard Sd 44 student-counselor ratio is 312:1: slightly below the ~408 national average, 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 Sitting just under the national figure still leaves meaningful room for sub-unit variation that the aggregate number hides. Variation between sub-units within Lombard Sd 44 is typically wider than the Lombard Sd 44-aggregate figure suggests.
Lombard Sd 44 chronic absenteeism rate is 10.1%: well below typical (strongly associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 the benchmark often reflect a distinctive local circumstance rather than ordinary scale differences.
