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

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
