Most rating sites would stop at “48% proficient” and call it done. Allegiance STEAM Academy - Thrive deserves a closer read. The school sits in Chino, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Allegiance STEAM Academy - Thrive enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
