California Innovative Career Academy accounts for 78.5% of all California Innovative Career Academy District student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of California Innovative Career Academy District a distant remainder — means California Innovative Career Academy District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.
