Sophie B. Wright Institute of Academic Excellence accounts for 100.0% of all Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence a distant remainder — means Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence reports 72.1% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.
Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence student-counselor ratio is 267:1 — 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 Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence is typically wider than the Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence-aggregate figure suggests.
Sophie B Wright Institute of Academic Excellence chronic absenteeism rate is 46.4% — 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.
