a 240.8:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That dominant concentration means Morgan Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high.

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Morgan Local chronic absenteeism rate is 26.2% — 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 Morgan Local is typically wider than the Morgan Local-aggregate figure suggests.
