The free-lunch share is 16% above the Florida average and 17% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 631 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 33.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
