The free-lunch share is 6% below the Michigan average and 2% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 143 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 54.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
