That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education District a distant remainder — means Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education District student-counselor ratio is 910:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
