a 223:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 8.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.9% White, 1.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Selmaville Elem School, enrolling 223 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Selmaville Elem School accounts for 93.3% of all Selmaville Ccsd 10 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Selmaville Ccsd 10 a distant remainder — means Selmaville Ccsd 10-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Selmaville Ccsd 10 student-counselor ratio is 223:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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.
Selmaville Ccsd 10 chronic absenteeism rate is 8.5% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
