Counselor coverage works out to roughly 286 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 35.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Brown Local spends $16,587 per pupil district-wide, below the Ohio average of $16,867 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 55.7% from local sources (property taxes), 30.7% from the state, and 13.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 31/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
