The free-lunch share is 54% below the Alabama average and 48% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 350 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 8.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Montgomery County spends $12,933 per pupil district-wide, below the Alabama average of $14,500 and below the national average of $19,490.
