That dominant concentration means Wyandanch Union Free School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high.

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.
