Most rating sites would stop at “44% proficient” and call it done. Lemoore deserves a closer read. The school sits in Lemoore, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 60.2% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
