That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Southeast Fountain School Corp a distant remainder — means Southeast Fountain School Corp-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.
