Acceleration Day and Evening Academy accounts for 61.4% of all Maef Public Charter Schools student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Maef Public Charter Schools a distant remainder — means Maef Public Charter Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
