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

Carolina Charter Academy: Cfa student-counselor ratio is 782:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
