That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts a distant remainder — means Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts is typically wider than the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts-aggregate figure suggests.
