Most rating sites would stop at “7% proficient” and call it done. Lee V. Pollard deserves a closer read. The school sits in Corona, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 30.9% of English learners reached the top ELPAC level, versus 17.7% statewide.
