The story is already in the data.
A quarter of U.S. schools report zero counselors. 46,665 schools are shrinking. America’s largest school is a cyber charter with 29,320 students. Those are ledes — and every one traces to a government file you can name in print, with a public methodology your editor can check.
§ What you can file
Angles that survive the fact-check.
- The counselor desert. Which schools in your coverage area report zero counselors — cited to the federal Civil Rights Data Collection.
- Shrinking schools, before the closure vote. Multi-year enrollment trends flag the schools boards will fight about next year.
- Graduation gaps. 4-year cohort rates from the state’s own DOE files, year-stamped, with the federal fallback labelled when a state doesn’t report.
- Spending vs. outcomes. Census F-33 per-pupil expenditure next to proficiency and graduation, per school.
- A methodology you can link. Attribution is “K12 Atlas, release v2026.07” — and k12atlas.us/methodology is public for readers who click through.
A statehouse reporter
The superintendent said staffing was “stable statewide.” The State Pack said 214 schools reported no counselor at all. The story wrote itself; the sources appendix went to the fact-checker unedited.
