Paradigm High School accounts for 100.0% of all Paradigm High School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Paradigm High School a distant remainder — means Paradigm High School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
