Most rating sites would stop at “24% proficient” and call it done. e3 Civic deserves a closer read. The school sits in San Diego, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, e3 Civic enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
