Counselor coverage works out to roughly 309 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 13.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Milan spends $12,624 per pupil district-wide, above the Tennessee average of $12,324 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 27.9% from local sources (property taxes), 51.0% from the state, and 21.1% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 54/100 (C-), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
