What this school's NCES data tells you

Counselor coverage works out to roughly 230 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 20.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
