a 274:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.2% White, 5.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Midway School accounts for 100.0% of all Midway Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Midway Isd a distant remainder — means Midway Isd-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.
Midway Isd student-counselor ratio is 274:1 — 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 Midway Isd is typically wider than the Midway Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Midway Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 16.8% — 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 Midway Isd is typically wider than the Midway Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
