Most rating sites would stop at “24% proficient” and call it done. Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #4 deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #4 enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
