a 128:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 0.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 100.0% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Quantum STEAM Academy Charter-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Quantum STEAM Academy Charter has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 95.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
