Maine Academy of Natural Sciences accounts for 100.0% of all Maine Academy of Natural Sciences student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Maine Academy of Natural Sciences a distant remainder — means Maine Academy of Natural Sciences-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.

The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. 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.
