Sst Corpus Christi accounts for 42.0% of all SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY school enrollment varies 213× across entities
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY school enrollment ranges from 11 students (lowest) to 2,343 students (highest), a spread of 2,332 students.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 50.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
