What this school's NCES data tells you

The free-lunch share is 1% below the New York average and 8% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 50 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 34.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
