What this school's NCES data tells you
Monument Academy Pcs reports 131 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 18.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 6.8:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 42% below the District of Columbia state mean of 11.8:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 57% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 66 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 44.3% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 47/100 (D), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
