Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Te accounts for 100.0% of all Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers a distant remainder — means Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers reports 98.2% free-lunch eligibility
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.
Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers student-counselor ratio is 295:1 — 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 Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers is typically wider than the Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers-aggregate figure suggests.
Preparatory Cs of Mathematics Science Tech and Careers chronic absenteeism rate is 45.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
