Niner University Elementary accounts for 100.0% of all Niner University Elementary School student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Niner University Elementary School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.
