The free-lunch share is 35% below the New Hampshire average and 73% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 234 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 36.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
