Only 39% of the students who live in the J.O. Combs School District in Pinal County attend public school in their local home district. The Chandler Unified School District retains 73%.

Brammer, a longtime paid consultant who crunches numbers for Valley school districts and other local governments, explained what the 73% figure means.
