Most rating sites would stop at “32% proficient” and call it done. Extera Public School No. 2 deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Extera Public School No. 2 enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
