Chartertech High School for the Performing Arts accounts for 68.4% of all Chartertech High School for the Performing Arts student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Chartertech High School for the Performing Arts a distant remainder — means Chartertech High School for the Performing Arts-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high.

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark.
