Explorers Academy of Science and Technology accounts for 100.0% of all Explorers Academy of Science and Technology student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Explorers Academy of Science and Technology a distant remainder — means Explorers Academy of Science and Technology-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Explorers Academy of Science and Technology chronic absenteeism rate is 21.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Explorers Academy of Science and Technology is typically wider than the Explorers Academy of Science and Technology-aggregate figure suggests.
