Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.

Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average.
