The free-lunch share is 7% above the Florida average and 7% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 48 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 100.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
