Most rating sites would stop at “65% proficient” and call it done. American Indian Public Charter School II deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oakland, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 63.6% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, American Indian Public Charter School II enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
