St Mary's Academy Charter School accounts for 74.0% of all St Mary's Academy Charter School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of St Mary's Academy Charter School a distant remainder — means St Mary's Academy Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
St Mary's Academy Charter School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 83.5% 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).

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.
