The free-lunch share is 30% above the Ohio average and 21% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 259 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 10.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
