Counselor coverage works out to roughly 136 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 73.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Comquest Academy spends $16,250 per pupil district-wide, above the Texas average of $13,644 and below the national average of $16,593.
