That concentration means Horizon Montessori Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined.

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. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
