That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Isana Octavia Academy District a distant remainder — means Isana Octavia Academy District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

Isana Octavia Academy District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 68.8% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
