That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Dayton Early College Academy Inc a distant remainder — means Dayton Early College Academy Inc-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.
