Grade band: elementary.

Escuela Avancemos has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 96.9% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
