The free-lunch share is 50% below the Texas average and 41% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 271 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 23.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
