Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.

Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1 reports 66.3% 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.

Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1 student-counselor ratio is 304:1 — 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 Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1 is typically wider than the Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1-aggregate figure suggests.

Source: NCES Civil Rights Data Collection

Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1 chronic absenteeism rate is 48.6% — 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.
