The free-lunch share is 11% above the California average and 19% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 660 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 30.7% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
