Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 27.8% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 49% below the Michigan average and 46% below the national baseline. The school offers 21 Advanced Placement courses, a stronger academic pipeline indicator than enrollment alone. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 261 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1.
