That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Twiggs County a distant remainder — means Twiggs County-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity.

Twiggs County reports 52.7% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. 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.
