Spencerville Elementary School accounts for 34.1% of all Spencerville Local student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Spencerville Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary.

Spencerville Local reports 74.1% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
