a 256:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 15.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.3% White, 3.7% African American, 2.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Marquand Elem. accounts for 56.3% of all Marquand-Zion R-Vi student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Marquand-Zion R-Vi a distant remainder — means Marquand-Zion R-Vi-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
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.
Marquand-Zion R-Vi student-counselor ratio is 256:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — 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 Variation between sub-units within Marquand-Zion R-Vi is typically wider than the Marquand-Zion R-Vi-aggregate figure suggests.
Marquand-Zion R-Vi chronic absenteeism rate is 15.0% — 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 Marquand-Zion R-Vi is typically wider than the Marquand-Zion R-Vi-aggregate figure suggests.
