Most rating sites would stop at “21% proficient” and call it done. Leadership Military Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Moreno Valley, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

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