The free-lunch share is 59% above the Texas average and 91% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 213 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 72.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
