Who it serves

The measures behind the comparison

Neighborhood family income (families with children near the school, NCES): 1.9× the poverty line. Enrollment (K–12): 170. Education is for adults aged 25–44 — the ages most likely to be parents — because the Census doesn’t publish parents’ education below the district level.
