That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Pine Creek Sd 5 a distant remainder — means Pine Creek Sd 5-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.
