a 31:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 45.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.4% White, 32.3% African American, 12.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is The Hope Academy Inc, enrolling 31 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
The Hope Academy Inc accounts for 93.9% of all The Hope Academy Inc. student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of The Hope Academy Inc. a distant remainder — means The Hope Academy Inc.-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.
The Hope Academy Inc. student-counselor ratio is 31:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
The Hope Academy Inc. chronic absenteeism rate is 45.2% — 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.
The Hope Academy Inc. has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 33 students.
