That dominant concentration means Jemez Valley Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

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 a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula.
