What this school's NCES data tells you
Acce reports 175 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 8.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 19.5:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 7% above the Michigan state mean of 18.2:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 23% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 83.3% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 53% above the Michigan average and 61% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 175 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 100.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Ypsilanti Community Schools spends $21,779 per pupil district-wide, above the Michigan average of $15,842 and above the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 40.3% from local sources (property taxes), 32.2% from the state, and 27.5% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 29/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
