That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Art and Science Academy a distant remainder — means Art and Science Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
