Robert G Cole Middle/High School accounts for 49.8% of all Ft Sam Houston Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ft Sam Houston Isd a distant remainder — means Ft Sam Houston Isd-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.
