Peoria Sd 150 student-counselor ratio is 323:1: 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 Peoria Sd 150 is typically wider than the Peoria Sd 150-aggregate figure suggests.

Peoria Sd 150 chronic absenteeism rate is 39.6%: well above typical (strongly associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 above the benchmark warrant a closer look at the underlying sub-units rather than treating the aggregate as representative.
