The free-lunch share is 61% below the Georgia average and 54% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 764 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 20.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
