That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Taos Integrated School of the Arts a distant remainder — means Taos Integrated School of the Arts-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Taos Integrated School of the Arts has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% 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). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding 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.
Taos Integrated School of the Arts chronic absenteeism rate is 2.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
