That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means The Willow School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other.

When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
