Most rating sites would stop at “58% proficient” and call it done. Green Valley deserves a closer read. The school sits in Fairfield, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 50.7% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
