The funding mix is 7.3% local, 84.3% state, and 8.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration.

a 100:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 5.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.0% White, 15.0% African American across the district's schools.

The Max Charter School accounts for 100.0% of all The MAX Charter School student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means The MAX Charter School-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.

The MAX Charter School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 83.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015).
