The free-lunch share is 32% above the Florida average and 32% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 400 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 29.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
