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