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

Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
