That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Thomasville City-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.
Thomasville City has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 55.3% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants 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.
