That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Maria Montessori Charter Academy District a distant remainder — means Maria Montessori Charter Academy District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

Maria Montessori Charter Academy District student-counselor ratio is 1415:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.

Maria Montessori Charter Academy District chronic absenteeism rate is 8.1% — 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.
